Digital investigations continue to grow in both volume and complexity. More devices, more data, and more cases—combined with limited staff—are putting increasing pressure on digital forensic labs. The challenge is simple, find a tool that can process more evidence, faster, without increasing costs.

Magnet Automate is a workflow orchestration and automation platform designed to streamline digital forensic processes. Rather than relying on manual steps, Automate enables labs to:

  • Build standardized workflows
  • Automatically process evidence
  • Integrate multiple forensic tools
  • Reduce examiner intervention

It acts as the central engine that connects your lab’s tools, both hardware and software, and processes evidence into an automated workflow. In many labs, examiners spend valuable time, way too much, on repetitive tasks:

  • Starting processing jobs
  • Moving evidence between tools
  • Monitoring progress

Magnet Automate removes this burden. Once configured, workflows can:

  • Ingest evidence
  • Process data automatically
  • Apply analytics and triage
  • Export results for review
  • Automation ensures workflows are:
    • Executed consistently and accurately every time
    • Reducing Human Error
    • Improves Reliability

Magnet Automate delivers the greatest impact and value when used as part of a connected forensic ecosystem. It works especially well for agencies using:

  • GrayKey / FastTrack – Mobile acquisition of locked and unlocked devices
  • AXIOM Advanced / AXIOM Cyber – Deep analysis of timelines, connections, OS artifacts, internet data, and more
  • Magnet WITNESS – Video and DVR evidence
  • Magnet VERIFY – Media authentication
  • Magnet REVIEW – Collaboration and evidence sharing
  • Magnet ONE – Centralized management and unified workflows across teams

MF Automate can also integrate with tools such as:

  • X-Ways Forensics
  • Oxygen Forensic Detective
  • H-11 Chip-Off Lab workflows
  • Rusolut VNR / VDR (vehicle and memory forensics)

This allows agencies to build end-to-end workflows—from acquisition to processing to analysis and reporting.

Key Benefits of Magnet Automate

  • Magnet Automate Saves Money
    • Maximize Existing Investments
    • 24/7 Processing
    • Reduce Overtime & Outsourcing
  • Increases Examiner Analysis and Productivity
  • Improves Quality – Standardized workflows reduce human error
  • Reduces backlog and faster investigations
  • Automation is about allowing Examiners to focus on what matters most:
    • Analysis – Critical Intelligence
    • Interpretation – Investigative insight
    • Collaboration and sharing Case Evidence and Reports
    • Solving the Crime and Faster closure to Cases
    • Bringing Justice to the community and Safeguarding National Security

At H-11 we see automation as a key step in modernizing digital forensic labs. Agencies using tools like X-Ways Forensics, Oxygen Detective, Rusolut VNR and VDR, H-11 Chip-Off Lab, and the Magnet tools can significantly increase efficiency when they are connected and orchestrated through Magnet Automate and managed within Magnet ONE.

Automation is no longer optional—it is essential for keeping pace with digital evidence.
