CATIE - Specific Questions

Can CATIE encrypt the case data?

Yes! A custom algorithm is used to scramble the data but allows you to assign a password to view the contents. Please note, Silent Shield does not have a backdoor once the encryption has been applied.

Can I capture and store the case evidence to a mapped hard drive, which points to a server?

Yes! Some performance issues have been reported due to the distance from your computer's location to where the server is located. Be sure your network connection is using the fastest connection possible.

Does CATIE have the ability to backup the database? If so, do I need to purchase anything separate?

CATIE does have the ability to backup the database. For a limited time, when you purchase the Premium version you get the backup utility at no cost.

How does CATIE allow me to review the information once the files are encrypted?

Built with CATIE is a custom section of code that will allow you to decrypt the information if you plan on exporting the data from CATIE. However, if you only need to read or see the data, CATIE does this automatically while your running the program.

What format does CATIE capture screens in?

Will my license only allow CATIE to run from one computer or do I need a separate license for each computer?
