Developing CSAM Detection Tools for Value Added Resellers

Written by Mikey Pruitt | Oct 24, 2024 9:45:00 AM

The rate of cybercrime is escalating, with public Wi-Fi networks becoming a primary hotspot for illicit activities. Simultaneously, Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) concerns place an immense burden on value-added resellers, who aim to provide secure, ethical cybersecurity solutions. Navigating these challenges requires advanced tools and technologies such as CSAM detection tools from DNSFilter.

Public Wi-Fi: The Untamed Wild West

Public Wi-Fi networks are convenient but inherently insecure, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Here’s why:

  1. Lack of Encryption: Many public Wi-Fi networks are unencrypted, giving hackers easy access to any data transmitted over the network.
  2. Elevated Risk of Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Attackers can intercept communication between users and legitimate servers to steal sensitive data.

CSAM: A Moral and Legal Minefield

Dealing with CSAM isn’t just a technical challenge but a moral and legal obligation.

  1. Detection Difficulty: CSAM is often well-hidden and encrypted, making it incredibly difficult to detect using traditional methods.
  2. Compliance Requirements: Laws like the UK’s Online Safety Bill mandate stringent measures for detecting and reporting CSAM, placing additional pressure on resellers.

A Comprehensive Solution Awaits
