Law Enforcement

If you are a law enforcement digital forensic examiner, you need StegAlyzerAS and StegAlyzerSS to:

  • Detect files that may be associated with a digital steganography application that could indicate a suspect may have used the application to conceal evidence of criminal activity

  • Scan potential carrier files for known signatures of particular steganography applications

  • Discover concealed evidence of child pornography on suspect media by searching for images hidden within adult pornography images or other seemingly innocuous files

  • Discover evidence of any type of crime hidden within any file on the suspect media that may have otherwise gone unnoticed—perhaps allowing a criminal to be released back onto the streets

  • Discover evidence of terrorist activity such as covert communications between sleeper cells to plan another attack against the Homeland

Intelligence Community

If you are a digital forensic examiner in the intelligence community, you need StegAlyzerAS and StegAlyzerSS to:

  • Expand counterterrorism and counterespionage investigations to include the search for covert channels of communication

  • Discover evidence that trusted insiders are stealing sensitive, and possibly classified, information by using digital steganography to conceal the information which may then be e-mailed to an accomplice

  • Discover evidence that terrorist cells are using digital steganography applications to conceal attack planning communications by hiding information in any of the billions of files available on the Internet at any given time

  • Discover evidence that foreign intelligence services are collecting national security sensitive information from trusted insiders

  • Discover evidence that foreign countries or domestic competitors are conducting economic espionage against US corporations

Private Sector

If you are a digital forensic examiner in the private sector, you need StegAlyzerAS and StegAlyzerSS to:

  • Detect trusted insider attempts to download and use digital steganography applications to send critical control system parameters or vulnerabilities outside of enterprise networks used by organizations that own or operate segments of our nation’s critical infrastructure
