Guidance Software Inc. (NASDAQ:GUID), has announced the availability of EnCase® App Central, a new online community and marketplace for digital  investigators that provides access to apps, best practices, and  community support.

EnCase App Central will include both free and paid apps built using theEnScript programming language. Each app is vetted and tested by a  technical team at Guidance Software before it is made available at  EnCase App Central. More than 50,000 investigators trained and licensed  in the use of EnCase® solutions can now leverage these EnScript® apps to  automate and add to the functionality of their EnCase software for more  effective and streamlined digital investigations.

“The EnScript programming language has long been a key feature of EnCase technology. The potential of the EnScript language to enhance EnCase products for specific needs has resulted in a community of developers  who contribute greatly to the strength of EnCase,” said Victor  Limongelli, president and chief executive officer of Guidance Software.  “Our customers gain added value and confidence from the fact that our  team tests each EnScript app before it’s accepted for listing in the  store. EnCase App Central is part of our ongoing commitment to helping  our users get the most from EnCase.”

In addition to the availability of free and paid apps, EnCase App  Central provides a forum where users can share ideas, or pose and answer  questions about digital investigation procedures and processes. Also  available in the marketplace will be reporting templates, apps that  parse unique digital artifacts, and tools that integrate EnCase products with third-party applications.

Guidance Software invites developers who have created EnScripts or who would like to do so to contribute to EnCase App Central. The EnCase Software Developers Kit allows programmers to develop apps for EnCase Version 7.05.
