The Californer/10096373

IRVINE, Calif. - Californer -- Susteen, the California-based developer of mobile forensic tools, has partnered with Cyan Forensics, the Edinburgh-based company delivering technologies to help law enforcement find child abuse and terrorist material quickly.

The partnership brings Cyan Forensics' scanning technology to Susteen's DATAPILOT 10 device, which will provide a portable, easy-to-use rapid scanning capability for smartphones. This will enable front-line police officers and counter terrorism teams to collect critical information from mobile phones quickly and accurately in the field.

People are moving increasingly to different devices for internet use, with over 3.2 billion smartphone users globally last year. Offending activity is moving the same way, and policing is experiencing a huge increase in the number of smartphones being examined for evidence. It is more important than ever that police are able to quickly and effectively find the evidence they need to act.
