We are excited to introduce the Digital Forensics Now Institute.

Founded by Jovianna Gonzalez, the Institute is dedicated to advancing digital forensics, cybercrime investigations, and eDiscovery through practical education, professional development, and industry collaboration.

Built for legal professionals, corporations, government agencies, and law enforcement, the Institute will provide practical education grounded in real world experience, forensic methodologies, and evolving technology.

Our goal is to turn knowledge into practice and help professionals better understand digital evidence and apply that knowledge to their work.

This is the next chapter of Digital Forensics Now.

We acquired an image from an HP MV Desktop, Model 750114, with an Intel Core i5 processor and 2 TB of storage using Cellebrite Digital Collector. The acquisition successfully completed in 7 hours and 17 minutes.

We used a Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD (2,100 MB/s read / 2,000 MB/s write).

Testing different devices, storage media, and forensic tools helps us understand how they perform and how to apply them in an investigation.

We tested Magnet VeraKey and Magnet VeraKey Fastrak to acquire a Full File System image from an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.5.2 with 512 GB of storage.

VeraKey reported an estimated 18 hours to complete the acquisition. Using VeraKey Fastrak, we successfully acquired 591 GB in 3 hours.

Both were tested using a Dell Pro Max with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and 128 GB of RAM.

The more we test our tools, the better we understand their capabilities and how to apply them in an investigation.

Our Founder & CEO, Jovianna Gonzalez, had the opportunity to visit St. Thomas University, tour the campus, and discuss ways DFN and STU can create opportunities for students.

From business and fashion to culinary arts and more, STU gives students the chance to apply what they learn beyond the classroom.

Digital Forensics Now looks forward to mentoring STU students and providing hands-on experience in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and AI.

Thank you to Carolina M. Veira, Ashley Rzyczycki, and Bradley Rzyczycki for the warm welcome and campus tour.

Our Founder and CEO, Jovianna Gonzalez, had the honor of speaking with the distinguished officers and officials of Peru’s Centro de Altos Estudios Nacionales (CAEN), including Armed Forces colonels, Peruvian National Police officers, and senior civilian leaders, on Digital Forensics, Intelligence Gathering, and Crime.

The session focused on how commercial and open source forensic tools acquire and recover digital evidence, including third-party application data, and why understanding each tool’s strengths, limitations, and methodology is critical to a digital investigation.

Jovianna was also honored to be presented with a CAEN challenge coin in recognition of her contribution to the program.

Thank you to Florida International University and Centro de Altos Estudios Nacionales (CAEN)for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to this outstanding program.

We’re proud to announce that our Founder & CEO, Jovianna Gonzalez, will be speaking at the Techno Security & Digital Forensics Conference, taking place October 20–22, 2026 in San Diego, California.

Session: Uncovering the Truth: What Really Happens During an Onsite Collection?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to an onsite collection. Every environment, device, and investigation presents its own challenges.

This session takes attendees behind the scenes of real-world onsite collections, sharing practical insights, lessons learned, and the workflows behind a defensible forensic collection.

Most people assume that once a mobile device acquisition is complete, the evidence is immediately available for review.

In reality, that’s often just the beginning.

Preserving digital evidence and processing the acquired data are two separate phases of a forensic workflow.

Understanding the difference could have a significant impact on an investigation.
