January 21, 2025 – Pune, India
SysTools, a leading provider of digital forensics and cybersecurity solutions, proudly announces its partnership with Netspark as the official Indian distributor for CaseScan, an innovative solution designed to combat Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This collaboration underscores SysTools’ dedication to empowering law enforcement agencies in India with cutting-edge technology to address digital crimes effectively.
A Growing Global and National Concern
In 2023, the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received over 36 million reports of suspected CSAM through its CyberTipLine and over 104 million CSAM-related files from registered Electronic Service Providers. India alone reported 13.1 million instances of CSAM website content in 2022-23, with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) highlighting a 250-300% rise in CSAM on social media platforms during the same period.
Tragically, 98% of reported CSAM involved children under the age of 13, with 30% under the age of 10, including infants and toddlers. The surge in CSAM content online represents a dire threat to children and communities worldwide, emphasizing the urgent need for robust, effective solutions.

CaseScan offers a game-changing approach to large-scale data analysis, enabling law enforcement to swiftly and accurately identify CSAM. With features that prioritize efficiency and investigator well-being, the solution is transforming how digital evidence is processed:

• Efficient Video Analysis: Summarizes videos by presenting keyframes, reducing the need to watch distressing footage.
• Rapid Processing: Processes terabytes of data swiftly, providing actionable insights in minutes.
• Investigator Support: Minimizes the emotional and psychological toll on investigators working in highly sensitive domains.
