Cellebrite

Cellebrite is an Israeli digital forensics company that develops mobile device data extraction and analysis tools for law enforcement agencies worldwide. Founded by Israeli technology entrepreneurs, the company became the dominant provider of mobile phone extraction technology to U.S. law enforcement through its UFED (Universal Forensic Extraction Device) product line. Cellebrite's technology enables warrantless extraction of phone data including messages, contacts, photos, and location data, and is part of the surveillance tech procurement infrastructure routed through Carahsoft into U.S. agencies.

Cellebrite functions as the primary mobile device extraction tool within the surveillance procurement pipeline, providing law enforcement agencies with the capability to extract and analyze data from seized phones without warrants. Its UFED technology is deployed by U.S. police departments nationwide, purchased through Carahsoft's GSA contract using DHS grant funding. The company's tools represent a core component of the Israeli surveillance technology ecosystem, sharing personnel and intelligence networks with NSO Group and other Israeli cyber-intelligence firms.
