Value of AI, Cloud Solutions Reign in Cellebrite’s 2025 Annual Industry Trends Survey

TYSONS CORNER, Va. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellebrite (NASDAQ: CLBT), a global leader in premier Digital Investigative solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the release of its sixth annual 2025 Industry Trends Survey. This year’s report explores how public safety professionals use and apply powerful digital investigative solutions to uncover digital evidence in criminal investigations. For the first time, the survey reveals a widespread appetite for artificial intelligence (AI) to assist and simplify investigations, with 80% of respondents acknowledging AI helps automate time–consuming tasks and identify critical evidence faster.

With more than 2,100 responses from examiners, investigators, analysts, prosecutors and agency managers across nearly 100 countries, the survey showed that while three in 10 respondents have seen an uptick in AI–related criminal activity, 64% believe this same technology can be used to reduce crime.

Additional notable insights include:

  • Near–unanimous reliance on digital evidence: For the second time in three years, digital evidence was cited for its high value in investigations. 98% of prosecutors reported digital evidence is pivotal in securing convictions, and more than half of respondents agreed it is more important than DNA.
  • Traction for cloud–based solutions: Public safety professionals are increasingly interested in harnessing the power of the cloud. Nearly 40% of those surveyed are now open to using cloud technologies for evidence storage and sharing, citing its scalability and security advantages – up from 35% last year; while six in 10 investigators still rely on legacy options like USB sticks for data sharing, which are widely recognized as inefficient and invite security risks that could compromise the chain of custody.
  • Overwhelming device and data volumes: With cases typically involving an average of two to five devices and the average data volume doubling over the past two years, 69% of investigative teams reported that they lack the tools and time to adequately review all the case data.

“In an era where bad actors are increasingly sophisticated in covering their digital footprints, law enforcement agencies must embrace advanced technologies to keep pace and protect their communities,” said David Gee, Cellebrite’s chief marketing officer. “Our findings this year underscore the urgency and necessity of integrating responsible AI and cloud solutions into investigative workflows to ensure justice is served efficiently, defensibly and securely.”

Cellebrite’s Generative AI Innovations Deliver a Powerful Assistant to Expedite Investigations

TYSONS CORNER, Va. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellebrite (NASDAQ: CLBT), a global leader in premier Digital Investigative solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the general availability of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) capabilities within Guardian, the Company’s SaaS–based evidence management solution.

By incorporating GenAI into Guardian, public safety agencies benefit from AI–driven productivity. Users can now form a more complete picture by quickly summarizing and contextualizing vast amounts of data, such as hours of audio messages or lengthy text message strings. Keywords and thematic direction accelerate an agency’s mission and empowers investigators who are reading, analyzing and validating the data with more insight on where to look next, including:

  • Chat thread summarization – With today’s smartphones containing 60,000 text messages on average, investigators save time reviewing the context of the messages, even if in a foreign language, to help prioritize which threads may be most relevant.
  • Relationship insight – Quickly understanding relationships between people is critical in investigations and this feature is a real value–add when investigating complex crime networks.
  • Browsing history analysis – Often buried and hard to decipher, this component breaks down complex URLs and contextualizes exactly what was searched and when the search was conducted.

“It is impossible to calculate the hours it would have taken to link a series of porch package thefts to an international organized crime ring,” said Detective Sergeant Aaron Osman with Susquehanna Township, Pennsylvania Police Department, who recently piloted the solution. “The GenAI capabilities within Guardian helped us translate and summarize the chats between suspects, which gave us immediate insights into the large criminal network we were dealing with.”

“This innovation marks a significant and tangible milestone in our efforts to accelerate the speed of investigations,” said Ronnen Armon, Cellebrite chief products and technologies officer. “Rather than trying to manually find the proverbial needle in a haystack, the GenAI acts as an assistant and guide to help law enforcement professionals identify powerful digital evidence that can advance an investigation and make communities safer.”

Cellebrite’s annual Industry Trends survey showed that while three in 10 respondents have seen an uptick in AI–related criminal activity, 64% believe this same technology can be used to reduce crime. As a leader in digital investigations, Cellebrite rigorously tested GenAI within Guardian, its native SaaS solution that is helping a growing number of law enforcement agencies easily and securely compile, review and share digital evidence to enhance collaboration. Multiple agencies tested the GenAI features during 2024 as Cellebrite continued to deliver high–impact, customer–driven innovation designed to make digital evidence more accessible, actionable and defensible. This innovation represents the next phase of ethically integrating AI into the Company’s complete Case–to–Closure platform.
