A detailed overview of a simplified workflow
Case details entered by the investigator
The investigator enters case details, selects physical drives or suspect images (E01, VMDK, etc), and chooses a pre-set processing level. From there, everything runs automatically — no servers, no complex setup.
X-Ways Forensics processing, automated by S21 AutomateX
S21 AutomateX launches X-Ways, creates the case, images disks (if needed), processes everything, and exports media ready for S21 LASERi-X. All hands-off, all offline.
S21 LASERi-X case and AI processing, automated by S21 AutomateX
S21 AutomateX opens S21 LASERi-X, imports X-Ways media, and runs your chosen processing – no manual steps needed.
