Cellebrite - Experts & Thought Leaders

Cellebrite DI Ltd., a pioneer in AI-powered digital investigative and intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, announces the expansion of The 101, a purpose-built global digital community for digital forensics and investigative professionals available to customers through the MyCellebrite portal. The community is growing daily from a base of 62-thousand users who are in active discussion groups, asking questions and sharing knowledge with peers and Cellebrite experts around the world. Every day, digital forensics and investigative professionals use Cellebrite technology to uncover insights, advance investigations and help make their communities safer. The 101 is designed to help them get more from Cellebrite's solutions, its experts and each other, so they can reach those outcomes even faster. Customers can join sub-communities based on products and experience, participate in discussions, share best practices and access resources and technical updates relevant to their work. Digital forensics training "When I finished my own digital forensics training, I went straight into a difficult case and while I had the basics, I had no easy way to build a network or even connect with someone who had seen it before," said Jared Barnhart, who leads Cellebrite's Global Customer Engagement Team. "The 101 is the solution I wish I'd had: an always-on place to ask questions, stay curious and get answers from Cellebrite experts and practitioners across the world. We have expanded and enhanced the 101 so our user community can learn together, and we're inviting every customer to explore it, share their knowledge and help it grow." Active discussion groups "Every customer relationship we have starts with a shared mission: helping them find the truth faster so they can keep their communities safe," said Marcus Jewell, chief revenue officer, Cellebrite. "The 101 puts that mission into practice every day, giving customers a direct line to our experts and to one another. When our customers succeed, we succeed - and this community is one of the clearest ways we can support them." Feedback from customers who have recently visited The 101 describe it as a natural extension of the trust-but-verify mindset central to digital forensics and investigative work. Focused discussion threads The community is getting praise for its focused discussion threads, ease of use in tracking questions and one's own contributions and the sub-communities for investigators, newcomers and practitioners exploring how AI fits into their workflow. Cellebrite customers can explore The 101 by logging in through MyCellebrite. Following an in-person celebratory launch with local customers at Cellebrite's U.S. Headquarters on September 16, 2026, The 101 Community members can look forward to the ultimate networking and peer connection event at the annual Global C2C User Summit, taking place April 12-16, 2027 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.

Cellebrite DI Ltd., a pioneer in AI-powered digital investigative and intelligence solutions, announces expanded resources and new leadership for Cellebrite Labs, the team responsible for much of the core mobile research behind the company's access, extraction and decoding technology. Cellebrite Labs is operating under the leadership of Chris Wade, Cellebrite's Chief Technology Officer, and is now part of the company's Innovation Hub that Wade has led since joining Cellebrite, following its acquisition of Corellium. More sophisticated and challenging The ability to access the broadest range of mobile devices and rapidly convert extracted data into digital evidence and actionable intelligence is central to Cellebrite's leadership in digital investigations. As mobile security grows more sophisticated and challenging, Cellebrite is committing additional infrastructure, AI resources, research tools and talent to help Cellebrite Labs maintain its leadership across operating systems as the technical environment continues to rapidly evolve. "Cellebrite's trusted, innovative digital forensics expertise is at the heart of what makes Cellebrite the trusted partner for digital investigative practitioners around the world, and Cellebrite Labs is where much of that capability is created," said Cellebrite Chief Executive Officer Shiv Ramji. "Giving Labs dedicated leadership from Chris, a world-renowned expert in mobile vulnerability research and backed by greater resources and investment, will help sharpen our focus and accelerate our speed at exactly the moment the mobile security landscape demands it." New opportunities for growth The Innovation Hub, which Wade leads, brings together focused efforts in high-impact AI research, hardware and software technology initiatives across Cellebrite. Adding Labs to the Hub will concentrate expertise and resources around the capabilities that strengthen Cellebrite's core business and create new opportunities for growth. "Cellebrite Labs does some of the most technically demanding work in the company, and it deserves a level of focus and investment to match," said Chris Wade, chief technology officer at Cellebrite. "I'm looking forward to working closely with the Labs team, and with our Product and Technology organisation, to turn that research into capabilities our customers continue to rely on."

OpenAI has announced a series of enhanced safety measures designed for under 18’s using ChatGPT to introduce controls that limit how “human” the chatbot can appear amid growing concerns about the use of AI among children. Those with the new teen account can disable voice responses to ensure the tool is understood as AI rather than a person. OpenAI is also introducing reminders for young people to take a break when using the tool to prompt healthier usage patterns. Reinforcing real-world relationships OpenAI has said the update was not triggered by any single incident but the update comes following a wider concern about people believing AI systems to be sentient with the company reinforcing protections that should ‘reflect developmental stage, reinforce real-world relationships and support healthier use over time.’ Teen accounts will become a default for anyone who identifies as under 18 during sign up, as well as for users OpenAI determines to be minors. Children under 13 remain unable to use the product. Heather Barnhart, Senior Digital Forensic Expert at Cellebrite and SANS DFIR Curriculum lead commented: “Technology policy makers are up against what could be the greatest generation in tech. AI adoption is being introduced across all sectors and the children who understand how AI works and how to use it responsibly will be at an advantage as AI increasingly becomes a life skill. With this in mind, regulation should prioritise educating children on how to use it safely and what potential red flags to look out for.” Providing direct answers “Parents, educators and social media companies need to take an active role in guiding children on use. This gets at the larger issue, which is parents having open conversations about the dangers that lurk online - and having concrete guardrails on what their kids are doing and how they’re interacting with technology that is having an active role in shaping every sector. With education and healthy engagement, families can help their children navigate the online world, responsibly and safely.” As part of this, OpenAI is also expanding its Study Mode which was launched last year to help students work through problems without providing direct answers and set specific hours where Study Mode will automatically activate. OpenAI has reported nine out of 10 of its younger users use it to help them with learning.
