Magellan
FeaturedBEST FOR
Insider threat investigationsBusiness email compromise (BEC) investigations
Legal, compliance, and eDiscovery teams
SOC and DFIR teams needing rapid content searches across endpoints
Organizations investigating intellectual property theft or employee misconduct
NOT IDEAL FOR
Traditional file system forensic analysis aloneOrganizations seeking a standalone desktop eDiscovery application
Examiners performing dead-box forensic examinations without AIR
Cases where metadata alone is sufficient and file content does not need to be searched
Magellan is Binalyze's enterprise eDiscovery capability integrated directly into the AIR platform. Unlike traditional forensic searches that rely primarily on filenames, metadata, or indexed repositories, Magellan performs full-text searches across endpoint data to identify the actual contents of documents, emails, archives, and other user-created files during an investigation.
The platform enables investigators to remotely search large numbers of endpoints for keywords, phrases, regular expressions, and other content-based indicators without requiring a complete forensic acquisition of every system. This allows organizations to quickly identify evidence relevant to insider threats, business email compromise, intellectual property theft, compliance inquiries, and legal investigations.
Magellan is particularly valuable for organizations where investigators need to determine not only that a file exists, but what is inside it. Security teams, corporate investigators, legal departments, HR investigators, and DFIR practitioners can rapidly locate responsive content while reducing unnecessary data collection and accelerating investigative decision-making.
Because Magellan is integrated into AIR, investigators can seamlessly transition from identifying suspicious content to collecting forensic evidence and conducting deeper endpoint analysis within the same investigative workflow.
