Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), formally known as Child Pornography, refers to any visual depiction of an implicit or explicit sexual activity involving a child.

These are illegal in most countries.
In some jurisdictions, texts and pseudo images about the abuse of a child are also considered illegal.

Online distribution of CSAM has become a major global issue.

1 in 500 employees use their work computer to consume child sexual abuse material
50% of those who consume CSAM abuse children physically
80% of the offenders abuse children that they have a close relationship with.

Why does it matters?

Fundamentally, any effort against CSAM protects children from ongoing child sexual abuse and further revictimisation of victims.
It also reduces the amount of material circulating thereby reducing the risk of offending by employees or members of your network.

Most organisations largely underestimate both the extent of the CSAM issue on their network and the actual severity of the material.
Statistics are clear. If your organisation provides online storage for users or has a few hundreds of employees or more, there is a very high likelihood that there is CSAM on your network and computers.
