Guidance Software Releases EnCase(R) Lab Edition Enabling Rapid Distribution and Analysis of Digital Evidence

Guidance Software Inc. (NASDAQ:GUID), The World Leader in Digital
Investigations(TM), today announced the release of EnCase(R) Lab
Edition, a powerful collaborative digital evidence review platform for
EnCase(R) Forensic that drastically speeds-up the analysis of
mission-critical digital evidence. EnCase Lab Edition enables District
Attorneys, Crown Prosecution Services, Federal Prosecutors, Agents in
Charge, Inspector Generals, and other key stakeholders to review,
communicate, and act on digital evidence via a simple web interface
and without any forensic expertise.

EnCase Lab Edition improves communication among all personnel
involved in digital evidence analysis, improves review cycle times,
and makes investigations more productive. It gives senior-level
officials of large government agencies, as well as law enforcement
agencies, the ability to provide real-time direction and clarification
to forensic examiners, who themselves can rapidly leverage
specialists, such as linguists, and share the forensic evidence and
their findings with lab directors, task-force leads, investigative
department heads, prosecutors and other contributors regardless of
their location.

Guidance Software has been serving the government agency and law
enforcement communities for more than a decade. It developed EnCase
Lab Edition based on feedback from senior officials at global
government agencies whose success is dependent upon quickly
identifying relevant data in an investigation or turning digital
evidence into actionable intelligence to thwart the efforts of
terrorists, spies, and other domestic and global security threats. It
also developed the product based on feedback from senior law
enforcement professionals who also rely on timely evidence to solve
murders, prosecute child pornographers and bring other criminals to
justice.

"EnCase Lab Edition is another example of Guidance Software´s
decade-long commitment to developing innovative solutions for the
government agency and law enforcement communities," said Victor
Limongelli, President and CEO of Guidance Software. "It addresses the
challenges key stakeholders face when dealing with mountains of
evidence, intelligence coordination and resource shortages. Together
with EnCase Forensic, EnCase Lab Edition helps organizations resolve
investigations quickly and efficiently--to the ultimate benefit of
those they protect and serve."

EnCase Lab Edition is available immediately.
