Cellebrite (NASDAQ: CLBT) has announced worldwide general availability of Guardian Investigate, an AI-powered investigative management platform designed to transform how law enforcement and intelligence agencies handle complex cases. The solution enables investigators to ask questions of their evidence, uncover connections, build timelines, and collaborate across departments — all while maintaining oversight and chain of custody.
In today’s environment, digital evidence is growing faster than investigators can process it. Critical files, mobile phone data, images, call records, and other evidential artifacts are scattered, making investigations slower and more error-prone. Guardian Investigate tackles this challenge by combining agentic AI, advanced analytics, and centralized case management to keep teams aligned and working collaboratively.
“When the news trucks are circling and decisions in the first hours shape the entire investigation, teams need a solution that gives them instant visibility and organization,” said Thomas E. Hogan, CEO of Cellebrite. “Guardian Investigate empowers investigators to work their cases live, not just review what others prepared, and gives agency leaders real-time oversight across every unit involved.”
Real-World Impact
Cellebrite’s solution is already being piloted with real cases. Kent Nielsen, Digital Forensics Investigator at the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office in Texas, reports that Guardian Investigate has streamlined 64 tasks across eleven investigators, allowing weekly reviews to happen faster and more efficiently. In an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation, analysts have been able to produce operational intelligence packages in hours rather than months.
By integrating with Cellebrite Guardian, evidence flows into Guardian Investigate in real time, enabling centralized review, task assignment, narrative-building, and collaboration — all while maintaining a secure chain of custody.
Flexible, Enterprise-Ready AI
Guardian Investigate delivers enterprise-grade, agentic AI-powered investigative management. For teams needing rapid deployment, Cellebrite Genesis, announced earlier this week, provides a standalone solution that delivers immediate results. Both leverage Cellebrite AI to accelerate investigation timelines and uncover actionable insights.
“Cellebrite AI acts as a force multiplier, enhancing efficiency and uncovering insights to facilitate investigator judgment,” said Ronnen Armon, Chief Products and Technologies Officer. “What makes Guardian Investigate different is that it breaks down walls between departments and agencies. Investigators, analysts, and command staff can collaborate in real time on the same case with full visibility.”
Global Reach
Cellebrite technology supports nearly 3 million investigations annually worldwide, helping over 7,000 customers manage legally sanctioned investigations across child exploitation, homicide, terrorism, sex crimes, drug enforcement, financial crimes, intellectual property theft, human trafficking, eDiscovery, and more.
Availability: Guardian Investigate is now generally available worldwide.
Agencies and practitioners can also experience Cellebrite Genesis and Guardian Investigate in person at the C2C User Summit 2026, the company’s annual user conference.
