What Is Digital Evidence Archive on AWS?
Digital Evidence Archive on AWS (DEA) is a solution that enables investigative units to store and manage digital evidence through Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon DynamoDB. DEA provides a web user interface (UI) that investigators and other law enforcement personnel can use to create and update cases and associated digital evidence. DEA uses Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering to dynamically change the storage class used for digital evidence based on how often users access them, which reduces costs incurred when using DEA.
With DEA, law enforcement customers can optimize their total cost of ownership by reducing management of multiple storage repositories, reliance on physical devices such as USBs and hard drives, and operational costs associated with running a local data center.
DEA maintains file integrity, hashing, encryption, and audit logging to help customers meet
requirements of the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy
