It can also help social media companies and cloud providers to find and block harmful content. The software can be used on-scene or in the laboratory by analysts or first responders to triage suspects’ devices, helping to get initial and crucial evidence to investigators fast
A spin-out from Edinburgh Napier University, the company has recently signed a partnership with the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in the US.
