https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3318219-1&h=736548222&u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D3254208-1%26h%3D2383684107%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.cellebrite.com%252Fen%252Fhome%252F%26a%3DCellebrite&a=Cellebrite 
) (Nasdaq: CLBT), a leader in Digital Intelligence (DI) solutions for the 
public and private sectors, today announced it has signed a definitive 
agreement to acquire the assets of open-source intelligence firm Digital Clues 
AG ("Digital Clues"). The acquisition strengthens Cellebrite's market-leading 
Digital Intelligence platform, reinforces our position as the end-to-end 
technology partner capable of digitizing the entire investigative workflow, and 
is expected to aid in growing the company's footprint within law enforcement 
intelligence and investigation units across the globe.

The start of an investigation is time-sensitive, and information must be 
gathered as quickly as possible. Digital Clues' open-source intelligence 
solutions kickstart law enforcement intelligence and investigation efforts when 
there are no targets and very few clues, helping customers collect and connect 
data from many dynamic sources including the surface web, deep web, and dark 
web.

Israel-based Digital Clues has a team of more than 20-persons, boasting a 
strong contingent of Research & Development specialists and a leadership team 
with decades of experience across intelligence, big data, and security for 
public safety agencies and enterprises. Digital Clues technology is available 
both as a SaaS offering and as on-premise software. Their solutions enable the 
collection of large amounts of data from various sources, leveraging artificial 
intelligence to draw valuable insights on suspected persons or entities, while 
enriching other digital evidence with valuable information from open sources.

Yossi Carmil, Cellebrite CEO, said, "we are pleased to announce this 
acquisition, an important step in executing against our vision of building a 
leading end-to-end investigative Digital Intelligence platform. Open-source 
intelligence capabilities provide law enforcement agencies with critical tools 
to capitalize on those crucial early hours of an investigation. The team at 
Digital Clues has built up a strong reputation in this space and we look 
forward to welcoming them into the Cellebrite family."

Yossi Ofek, CEO & Chairman of Digital Clues, brings over 20 years of experience 
in homeland security and will lead the open-source intelligence business 
efforts at Cellebrite. He comments: "The demand for cloud-based and on-premises 
open-source intelligence solutions is driven by the increasing need for 
automated systems to help public safety agencies sift through the tidal wave of 
information hosted on the web. We share Cellebrite's commitment to accelerate 
justice and are excited about combining Digital Clues' capabilities with 
Cellebrite's world-leading and comprehensive Digital Intelligence platform."

The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021 and is 
subject to customary closing conditions.
