Lab Management
Manage forensic software and lab equipment used by your organization, including ownership, licensing, expiration, and operational details.
The Lab Management section helps your organization keep track of the software and equipment used to perform forensic work.
Use these records to maintain operational information about the tools your lab depends on and keep important details available to the rest of your Monolith workflow.
Forensic Software
Use Forensic Software to maintain information about the software products used by your team.
Software records can help your organization keep track of details such as:

Forensic Software can also be referenced when documenting Acquisitions, allowing users to record which tool and version were used during forensic collection.
