New research explores using cloud-based technology for child sexual abuse investigations

A new AIC study conducted by the University of Adelaide assesses the benefits of using cloud-based technologies in child sexual abuse investigations.

• The quantity of child abuse material being confiscated and processed during criminal investigations presents budgetary and computing resource challenges, while also limiting inter-agency collaboration.

• The paper reviews the discrete benefits of cloud-based infrastructures and assesses the perceived risks associated with their use.

• It demonstrates how a shared responsibility model can work in practice for child abuse investigations by developing a secure cloud environment in partnership with a cloud-based infrastructure provider.
