Machine-learning

The battlefield has extended into the digital realm in today's technological era. The military uses digital forensic software to address cyber threats and adapt to changing intelligence and counterintelligence operations. This powerful tool has become indispensable in safeguarding national security, uncovering threats, and ensuring the success of military operations.

While traditional methods of law enforcement and community vigilance remain crucial, the integration of technology into crime prevention strategies has revolutionized safety and crime detection. Law enforcement agencies are beginning to use crime prevention approaches to keep their communities safe. 

Digital forensic software developers need to keep up with new advancements. Investigators need digital forensic tools to keep up with current and future technology. Forensic investigators face the challenge of evolving threats and increasing data volumes. 

The Global Forensic and Justice Center hosted a panel on The Value of Digital Evidence in Combatting Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking. The panelists included:

• Alexandria Wong, Digital Media (DOMEX) Trainer with the Global Forensic and Justice Center and FIU
• Sondra Skelaney, Gender Violence Prevention Program Coordinator with CASE and FIU
• Ailsa Slack, Director of Customer Success of ADF Solutions.

The panel focused on the role of technology, forensics, and digital evidence and revolved around four central questions which are highlighted below along with the key points discussed by the panel of subject matter experts.

Crimes against children investigations can lead CSAM investigators to have to review thousands or even tens of thousands of images. Investigators need tools to help them find relevant evidence quickly. 

Digital Forensic Investigators and Examiners need to be able to find evidence quickly and one of the ways that ADF provides this capability is using PhotDNA.
