Cellebrite DI (CLBT) is a leading global company specializing in digital intelligence solutions for law enforcement, government, and enterprise organizations. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel, the company has grown to have a significant influence on the digital forensic landscape, with solutions being used in over 150 countries worldwide.

Best known for its UFED (Universal Forensic Extraction Device) range of products, Cellebrite provides a plethora of tools for the acquisition, analysis, and management of digital data. UFED technology enables forensics teams to access encrypted or hidden information, even if it has been deleted, in a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, drones, SIM cards, and more. Cellebrite's products allow experts to preserve and extract invaluable data for solving crimes, locating missing persons, and tackling fraud and cybersecurity threats.

Apart from its core digital forensics offerings, the firm also provides a diverse range of software and hardware products supporting data analytics, cloud data extraction, and mobile device unlocking, among others. The company's clientele primarily consists of law enforcement agencies, but also includes federal agencies, military units, intelligence organizations, and private sector corporations.

Cellebrite operates on the key principle of harnessing technology to make societies safer. Since its inception, Cellebrite has utilized innovation and advanced digital forensics methods to drive success and growth. The company's wide reputation in the digital forensics industry has made it a trusted partner for agencies worldwide.

The company has come under scrutiny as well, most notably its reported involvement in high-profile cases such as the unlocking of the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone in 2016. Despite international debates over the ethics and implications of its technology, Cellebrite maintains its commitment to adhere to legal jurisdictions and human rights standards.

As of February 2022, Cellebrite is in the process of merging with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) TWC Tech Holdings II Corp., subsequently listing its shares on the NASDAQ under the symbol "CLBT". This move represents a significant milestone for Cellebrite and demonstrates the growing legitimacy and importance of the digital intelligence industry.

Alongside its commitment to developing its software and services, the company also focuses on providing training, certification, and professional services to customers. It boasts an accredited training center, offering numerous courses that equip industry professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to leverage digital data responsibly and effectively.
