2018 was an amazing year for Atola Technology! We look back at this important and eventful year and want to thank everyone who helped make it very special.
Atola TaskForce launch
First and foremost, we have launched Atola TaskForce, a breakthrough acquisition tool for the digital forensics market. It is capable of imaging 12 or more evidence drives simultaneously at speed exceeding 15 TB/hour!

The development process for this tool was as tough as it was fun for the team. And we are extremely happy with the result. It is already being used by our customers in the field as a standalone tool and in the lab by multiple examiners simultaneously.
TaskForce software upgrades
We constantly work to extend our tools’ functionality. Throughout 2018, we released firmware updates with 30+ new features for TaskForce which included the support of NVMe drives.
NVMe is the latest great technology from the world of drives: they demonstrate extra high data transfer rate. Despite the high price tag, these drives have gained popularity among both individual users and businesses.
With the help of our M.2 SSD adapter, TaskForce images and calculates hash on these devices.

Insight software upgrades
We have continued to develop Atola Insight Forensic as well. Among other great upgrades, there is now a separate Artifact finder feature. It enables in-depth triage of data on an evidence drive.

Our team has grown again: we hired five talented engineers! They have already become an integral part of the team and are contributing to our development process.

Presentations and workshops
Vitaliy, Yulia, Andrew, and Tetiana held training sessions for our customers and delivered presentations at some of the most prominent forensic events of 2018. Our ‘Need for Speed’ presentation was very popular among these audiences. We explained the current trends in the world of drives, why imaging takes more time these days and how to tackle this issue.
