The greatest challenge in modern cloud forensics is privacy. To analyze a file, it usually has to be uploaded to a server. Not with VFP NextGen.
Distributed Power
By leveraging WebAssembly (WASM), we've managed to port our entire Python-based forensic kernel into the browser. This means your data never leaves your infrastructure. The analysis runs on your local machine, at the speed of silicon, with zero server latency.
Benefits of In-Browser Forensics:
- Absolute Privacy: Zero data transfer to Aegis servers.
- Infinite Scalability: Your browser is the analysis engine. No server bottlenecks.
- Instant Feedback: Real-time 3D terrain generation as you scroll through the hex dump.
This "Zero-Trust" architecture is why defense agencies and financial institutions are switching to Aegis. We don't want your data; we just want to help you see it.
