Value of AI, Cloud Solutions Reign in Cellebrite’s 2025 Annual Industry Trends Survey
12 February 2025 - 12:30AM
Cellebrite (NASDAQ: CLBT), a global leader in premier Digital
Investigative solutions for the public and private sectors, today
announced the release of its sixth annual 2025 Industry Trends
Survey. This year’s report explores how public safety professionals
use and apply powerful digital investigative solutions to uncover
digital evidence in criminal investigations. For the first time,
the survey reveals a widespread appetite for artificial
intelligence (AI) to assist and simplify investigations, with 80%
of respondents acknowledging AI helps automate time-consuming tasks
and identify critical evidence faster.
With more than 2,100 responses from examiners, investigators,
analysts, prosecutors and agency managers across nearly 100
countries, the survey showed that while three in 10 respondents
have seen an uptick in AI-related criminal activity, 64% believe
this same technology can be used to reduce crime.
Additional notable insights include:
- Near-unanimous reliance on
digital evidence: For the second time in three years,
digital evidence was cited for its high value in investigations.
98% of prosecutors reported digital evidence is pivotal in securing
convictions, and more than half of respondents agreed it is more
important than DNA.
- Traction for cloud-based
solutions: Public safety professionals are increasingly
interested in harnessing the power of the cloud. Nearly 40% of
those surveyed are now open to using cloud technologies for
evidence storage and sharing, citing its scalability and security
advantages – up from 35% last year; while six in 10 investigators
still rely on legacy options like USB sticks for data sharing,
which are widely recognized as inefficient and invite security
risks that could compromise the chain of custody.
- Overwhelming device and data
volumes: With cases typically involving an average of two
to five devices and the average data volume doubling over the past
two years, 69% of investigative teams reported that they lack the
tools and time to adequately review all the case data.
“In an era where bad actors are increasingly sophisticated in
covering their digital footprints, law enforcement agencies must
embrace advanced technologies to keep pace and protect their
communities,” said David Gee, Cellebrite’s chief marketing officer.
“Our findings this year underscore the urgency and necessity of
integrating responsible AI and cloud solutions into investigative
workflows to ensure justice is served efficiently, defensibly and
securely.”
