Empowering the Fight Against Child Exploitation

As the CEO of HYAS, I am both honored and privileged to announce our partnership with the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to assisting law enforcement in their crucial efforts to combat child exploitation, expose predators, and locate missing youths. 

HYAS will share our industry-leading threat intelligence and investigation platform to help the organization identify, track and attribute criminal activity more quickly and efficiently. This partnership reflects our unwavering dedication to leveraging our cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions not just to protect organizations and people around the world from ransomware, supply-chain, phishing, and other attacks, but to also protect the most vulnerable members of our society and combat human trafficking and child exploitation.

The NCPTF, with its mission to support law enforcement in matters involving missing and exploited youths, is a beacon of hope for countless families and communities. Their tireless work has made a tangible difference in the lives of many, and at HYAS, we are eager to lend our expertise to advance this noble cause.

Last year we announced our support and collaboration with the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative (ATII), and in a similar fashion we aim to enhance the investigative capabilities of NCPTF with our expert knowledge of cybercriminal adversary infrastructure, campaigns, and networks as the experts in adversary infrastructure  “VRA” or Verdicts, Related Infrastructure, and Attribution. We are proud to help do good in the world, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be of service to these esteemed organizations.

Enhancing Investigations with HYAS Insight

HYAS Insight threat intelligence is a powerful tool designed to deliver unparalleled visibility into cyber threats, enabling not just efficient and effective threat and fraud hunting but actual proactive activities and capabilities. By integrating HYAS Insight into the NCPTF’s investigative processes, we are providing them with the ability to:

Identify and Track Cyber Threats: Our platform offers real-time data and analysis on cyber threats, allowing the NCPTF to identify and track malicious activities that may be linked to child exploitation.

Strengthen Investigative Efforts: With comprehensive intelligence on threat actors and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), the NCPTF can strengthen their investigative efforts, making it easier to locate and protect missing and exploited youths.

Close Cases Faster: HYAS Insight clients have told us that their use of the solution allowed them to close cybersecurity cases three times faster than without it and our hope is that in a similar vein, the HYAS Insight will accelerate the good work that the NCPTF does across a variety of investigations and scenarios.

A Shared Commitment to Protecting the Vulnerable

At HYAS, our core mission is to make the world a safer place by providing innovative cybersecurity solutions, utilizing our expertise, unique data, and resulting intelligence on all aspects of adversary infrastructure. Our partnership with the NCPTF is a natural extension of this mission, as we believe that protecting children from exploitation and harm is one of the most critical responsibilities we can undertake.

As Larry Cameron from the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative said, “you need the data HYAS has to be able to see what’s not in plain sight” and that’s exactly our goal in helping the NCPTF.  Their dedication to assisting law enforcement and helping people is truly inspiring, and their work is a testament to the power of collaboration and the impact that can be achieved when we come together with a shared purpose. By working with the NCPTF, we are not only contributing our technology and expertise but also standing alongside countless individuals and organizations committed to making a difference.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, HYAS will continue to not only protect all aspects of critical infrastructure around the world, but make sure that we support the NCPTF, ATII, and other organizations dedicated to protecting children and society’s most vulnerable. I am proud of the work our team at HYAS is doing to continuously evolve our technologies and expand our efforts to combat cyber threats, and we are looking forward to the positive impact our partnership with the NCPTF will have.

Together, we can make significant strides in the fight against child exploitation and create a safer world for children.

With HYAS Insight integrated into their toolset, the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative (ATII) was able to drastically cut the average time it took to close cases and move away from a time-consuming manual process that involved using WHOIS lookups on IPs and domains.
