The processing and analysis of electronically stored information (ESI) has evolved aggressively over the last several years. In the legal sector, ESI challenges arise during e-discovery when capturing and preserving data becomes an essential component of litigation and technology is also evolving to accommodate these needs. Planet Data, a company providing e-discovery solutions and mobile forensics, is making strides to equip its employees with the best possible skills.

Russ Capps, Planet Data's senior forensics consultant, was awarded three high-level certifications from Cellebrite (a company also at the head of mobile lifecycle management and mobile forensics): certified logical operator, certified physical analyst and certified mobile examiner. As an industry leader in mobile forensic extraction, decoding and analysis solutions, Cellebrite's certifications are a reinforcement of Capps' commitment to Planet Data's customers.

Dave Cochran, COO and EVP, commented on Capps' promotion and the importance of mobile data forensics: “Mobile data and technology continue to evolve and Planet Data remains a leader in the area of forensics and data collection. It is critical to continuously put Planet Data team members through thorough examinations and certification processes in order to stay ahead of the game. Our goal is to ensure our staff are experts and we will continue to grow and develop the credentials of our team.”
