Project Description:
This project involves the replacement of end-of-life hardware and equipment for a District Attorney's office, with a focus on specialized forensic workstations and Faraday boxes. These upgrades will enhance the office's ability to manage complex investigations, streamline data analysis, and improve security for sensitive information. The initial request will include 10 forensic workstations, but there will be a phased replacement plan every two years. By replacing two workstations annually, all Digital Forensics Investigation personnel will eventually have access to machines no older than three years, ensuring consistent performance and efficiency for forensic extractions. Forensic workstations are essential machines for the digital forensics team to operate.
