In addition to taking top honors at the 2014 SC Awards Europe Awards ceremony, EnCase also received a five-star rating in the SC Magazine product review last week. The independent reviewer stated, “EnCase has been around a long time and, by most accounts, created the definition of how a computer forensic product should look.” Furthermore, “It has a lot of innovation and is continuing that tradition.”
