Cyan Forensics is announcing a new partnership with Susteen. This partnership joins together Cyan Forensics scanning technology software with Susteen’s DataPilot DP10 platform, creating a triage capability for smartphones, meaning that police forces will be able to scan portable devices for illicit materials, such as child sexual abuse images and terrorist content, swiftly and accurately.
The partnership will allow investigators to use Cyan Forensics’ scanning technology with Datapilot DP10 to scan smartphones in the field faster than ever before. Susteen’s Datapilot DP10 device is used extensively for evidence collection by police forces and governments around the world. Cyan Forensics’ rapid triage technology is currently used by UK and European police to scan computers and hard drives for child abuse and terrorist content in minutes.
Cyan Forensics’ existing solution for laptop and hard drives is already used by the Home Office and counter-terrorism policing in the UK. Police and counter-terrorism officials will now be able to scan smartphones quickly in the field to combat child sex abuse images and extremist material. As 78% of adults use smartphones, new mobile capability will help UK and international law enforcement keep up with the overwhelming number of devices.
In 2019 alone, there were over 3.2 billion smartphone users globally, creating an uphill battle for police forces. Policing is experiencing a huge increase in the number of smartphones being examined for evidence. Online sex abuse of children in the European Union has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Europol.
