XRY: Rapid Hash Matching

In child exploitation investigations, it is often crucial to quickly determine if a suspect’s phone contains child sexual abuse material (CSAM.) The process of manually locating and reviewing every image file on a phone can be so time-consuming and emotionally taxing that it’s not a realistic option during an investigation. One unique and powerful feature of MSAB XRY solution is the capability to quickly determine if a suspect’s device contains child sexual abuse imagery. The method, rapid hash matching, has several advantages for investigators.

With XRY, investigators can connect a suspect’s phone to the software, start data extraction, and they will be alerted immediately if the device contains any CSAM material that matches those databases. They will know it even before the extraction is finished. This tool is an important ally in law enforcement’s efforts to combat CSAM.
