Cyan Forensics and Cyan Protect tools have at their core the same cutting edge Contraband Filter technology.

Cyan Forensics provides fast digital triage for law enforcement and Cyan Protect offers effective protection for social media, cloud and messages apps, with both tools having at their core the same cutting edge Contraband Filter technology.

Born from University research, our Contraband Filter technology was developed from a multi-year PhD project at Edinburgh Napier University and was driven by a former police digital crime expert.

Enabling extraordinarily fast and reliable detection of harmful content, this technology is one hundred times faster than alternatives and can readily be deployed at scale without any disruption or delay to operations.

Highly reliable regarding false negatives and positives, our tool is suitable for automated moderation (unlike artificial intelligence), cutting the cost and human impact of moderation by providing a first line of defence to detect, remove and block harmful content.

Our technology allows the secure sharing of data, such as images, that can be used for detection. Data, especially on child abuse, cannot be shared between law enforcement and tech companies for legal and privacy reasons. Whereas public databases contain just a few million items, the security of our Contraband Filter enables government level datasets, containing tens of millions of items, to be used for online safety applications without any problematic exchange of personally identifying information.

Contraband Filter technology can even be used on mobile devices, without sending images or video to the cloud for analysis. This unique capability makes it suitable for detecting and blocking harmful content in end-to-end encrypted messaging apps – an area where there are no other effective solutions.
