Case Study: UBI Banca achieves lightning-fast digital investigations (160 GB processed in 13 minutes) with Exterro's FTK Lab

UBI Banca Chooses FTK Lab for High-Speed Processing of Internal Digital Investigations

UBI Banca, the fourth-largest Italian commercial bank with over 1,900 branches and 22,000 employees, sought to build in-house audit and IT operations capabilities and needed a forensic platform to support internal digital investigations. The bank’s audit team evaluated several products in real-world tests to find a tool that would enable collaborative case work and fast data processing.

They chose AccessData’s FTK Lab for its superior processing speed and cost-effectiveness; the platform’s distributed processing and web-based review also supported easy team collaboration. After deployment UBI processed a 160 GB image in just 13 minutes (one processing server plus two clients), reported rapid adoption and ease of use, leveraged Milan-based partner Datamatic for implementation, and integrated complementary tools (FTK, FTK Imager, Password Recovery Toolkit) to accelerate investigations.
