LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

Enhance criminal intelligence and investigations

DarkScout assists law enforcement agencies in tracking crimes on the dark web, revealing the networks, and aiding their investigations.

Understanding the challenges of Law Enforcement Agencies

Scale and anonymity of online crime: Criminals use dark web services, encryption, and anonymity techniques for large-scale trading of illicit goods, including drugs, weapons, data, and exploitative content, making it difficult for law enforcement agencies to track and apprehend them.
Evidence collection and case support: Investigators have to locate, validate, and preserve digital evidence of dark web sources, which are constantly changing, in a manner that is forensically sound, traceable, and acceptable in a court of law, and this has to be done within a specific time frame.
Resource constraints and cross-border coordination: There are limitations of resources, jurisdiction, and the need for international coordination and cooperation with private organizations, making it challenging for law enforcement agencies to effectively address the threat of organized crime.
