NetClean launches NetClean Analyze DI to help law enforcement agencies fight child sexual abuse

London, UK - 6 September, 2011 – NetClean, a world leader in technical solutions for preventing the spread of child sexual abuse content, has launched NetClean Analyze DI, the ‘next generation’ version of its free Analyze software.

Analyze DI serves to improve the quality of child sexual abuse investigations conducted by law enforcement agencies, reduces work input for investigators, and manages the entire investigation in one application. NetClean re-designed the software to combat the increasing number of seizures and to address the higher complexity and size of files being created and captured.

Analyze DI simplifies the creation cases by blending with forensic investigator’s existing platforms. By allowing the forensic investigator to automatically extract evidence from seized media through scripting, it reduces the amount of manual effort by an officer who is traditionally required to sift through mountains of information. The software’s streamlined interface also makes it easy for non-forensically trained users to adopt. It allows anyone to efficiently categorise up to a thousand files per minute of seized evidence. It also reduces examination time of videos files from real time to just a few seconds.

It also deals with the analysis and storage of images and video files in one application, enables maintenance and archival of image hash codes, and customisable reporting tools for use in court.

NetClean Analyze DI delivers a greater level of granular detail to investigations as case workers can now locate and identify evidence based on geographic location due to the software’s GPS tracking which supports embeddable maps for GPS tags. The functionality continues to recognise camera make and file information and further introduces new ways to review this information (eg: EXIF).

Last but by no means least the software incorporates powerful video processing techniques which split out files into a collage of multiple stills. The result generates efficient analysis of video content at a much quicker speed.

Christian Sjöberg, CEO at NetClean, said: “One of the strengths, and something that we have worked hard for with this new version, is to be able to tackle the new challenges in CSA investigations.  This is represented by the ever increasing cases and also the complexity of these cases in terms of file size, resolution, file formats, etc. We have risen to the growing complex challenge by loading the new generation software with cutting-edge new data- and file- management functions, a fast and intuitive database engine, together with a more streamlined interface and new interactive ways to browse for critical case file information.

He added: “In essence we’ve taken all the back-breaking work out of looking for vital and growing stores of CSA evidence. In short it means cases can be created swiftly, more compelling evidence discovered, structured and stored more rigorously. The knock -on effect is the investigative teams can locate and break organised offender networks much faster. Ultimately that means that thousands more vulnerable children are saved, and fewer children exposed to this extremely serious, and global, digital socio-economic threat.”

NetClean continues to collaborate with law enforcement organisations worldwide to incorporate hash codes into NetClean Analyze DI. The software is equipped hash codes of known illegal child sexual abuse material whereupon additional codes can easily be uploaded to the software’s database. When an end-user creates a case and loads images and videos onto the software it automatically maps the files to the databases. If there is a match, information will be provided on the specific file and appropriate action then taken.

NetClean Technologies provides the Analyze software free of charge primarily to law enforcement agencies as well as national and federal agencies responsible for child sexual abuse (CSA) investigations. It is currently available in 30 countries worldwide.
