Detego Global, a leading developer of digital forensics, case management, and investigative technology solutions, has been recognised at this year’s UK Security & Policing Innovation Awards for its flagship forensic imaging tool, Ballistic Imager, and was the only digital forensics provider among the finalists.
The awards, now in their 21st year, recognise groundbreaking innovations that deliver a step change in the UK’s ability to prevent, respond to, reduce the impact of, or investigate security threats and incidents. Covering the full spectrum of defence and security capabilities, the awards bring together cutting-edge technologies spanning weapons intelligence systems, advanced scanning technologies, intelligence platforms, counter-terrorism solutions, cybersecurity, border security, and law enforcement tools.
Among a highly competitive field representing the breadth of the defence and security landscape, Detego Global’s recognition highlights the growing importance of digital evidence across investigations, intelligence gathering, and military and counter-terrorism operations, with over 90% of today’s crimes involving a digital element (National Police Chiefs’ Council).
Ballistic Imager, Detego Global’s internationally patented forensic imaging solution, has set new benchmarks for speed and operational efficiency. Recently achieving a world record by imaging 1TB of data in just 4 minutes and 34 seconds, the technology enables investigators to acquire critical evidence at unprecedented speeds while maintaining full forensic integrity, without the need to remove hard drives from devices.
Designed for both technical and non-technical users, Ballistic Imager enables teams to become fully operational with just 30 minutes of training, making it a powerful force multiplier in time-critical investigations across law enforcement, defence, and intelligence environments.
Andy Lister, Managing Director of Detego Global, commented:
“Being recognised at the UK Security & Policing Innovation Awards is a significant achievement, particularly given the breadth and calibre of solutions considered across the defence and security sector. Ballistic Imager was developed in close collaboration with specialist military units, counter-terrorism specialists, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement teams. This recognition reflects the real-world impact it is having in helping investigators acquire evidence faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver rapid results where it matters most.”
This marks the fourth time in the past five years that a Detego Global solution has been named a finalist at the UK Security & Policing Innovation Awards, a significant achievement that reflects the consistency of innovation across the company’s portfolio. Previous finalists include Field Triage, Detego Analyse, and its AI-enhanced evolution, Detego Analyse AI+.
