Magnet Forensics serves police, government agencies, and corporate investigators. Its flagship product, Magnet AXIOM, gathers data from devices and online accounts and organizes it so examiners can search messages, photos, browsing history, and app data. Timelines and artifacts help reconstruct what happened and produce reports for legal use.
The company has grown through combination. It merged with Grayshift, which makes tools for accessing locked mobile devices, and offers related products for acquiring evidence, triaging devices at a scene, and reviewing cases collaboratively. AI features help classify images, detect relevant content, and speed up the review of large volumes of data.
Magnet Forensics is sold to professional organizations by license and subscription, with training and certification programs. These tools are used in sensitive contexts, so legal authority, chain of custody, and privacy rules matter. Competitors include Cellebrite, Oxygen Forensics, OpenText EnCase, and Exterro FTK. Magnet Forensics suits digital forensic examiners.
