The internet “A Dangerous Place”: 

The internet “A Dangerous Place” More and more children are using it It is difficult to monitor Increase popularity of IM and blogs No education in how to use it safely Preferred method used by predators

Problems facing parents:: 

Problems facing parents: The number of PC’s in the home is increasing Children are often more computer savvy than parents Most solutions are either cumbersome or at best block WebPages

The Solution: 

The Solution Use the power of CYFK’s computer technology to help parents with the monitoring of their children’s IM and web activities.

How does it work?: 

How does it work? The parent registers on our website and downloads a small application in the child's computer. The application monitors computer usage and transmits it securely to a central computer. The parent sets up his/her preference for alert triggers and notification methods. The central computer analyzes the logs using build in intelligence and creates customized reports or alerts for parents and law enforcement.

How does it work?: 

How does it work? Scenario 1. unsolicited IM from a predator Jane is doing her homework on the computer and receives an IM solicitation from what she believes to be a friend and she accepts. She chats with whom she believes to be a cute boy from school, but in reality it is a child predator. The conversation becomes inappropriate but Jane still thinks that it is a boy from school flirting with her. The conversation is recorded by the application and transmitted securely to a central computer without Jane or the predator knowing it.

How does it work?: 

How does it work? Scenario 1. unsolicited IM from a predator Jane’s recorded conversation is analyzed by our computer technology. The IM screen names are matched against our database of suspected predators and their relation to other screen names. The conversation is then scanned for keywords that are default to the system (entered in by parent configuration or specified by law enforcement). The whole conversation is then weighted and then routed to the appropriated processes. In this case the result is that Jane is possibly being stalked by a predator. The system will alert the parent and forward transcript to law enforcement for review.

How does it work?: 

How does it work? Scenario 1. unsolicited IM from a predator The parent receives an alert urging him/her to log on to the portal and review the transcript of the conversation. Law enforcement (I.e.. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force) is alerted and receives a copy of the conversation transcript. Law enforcement can then either assume Jane’s online identity to discover more about the predator or use the transcript as additional evidence to prosecute the predator.

How does it work? Scenario 2. Drug involvement Little Joni has been hanging around with the wrong crowd. His so called new friends are trying to get him to take drugs and get involved in other criminal activities. Joni is resisting his new friends’ offers but the pressure is on. They keep on offering him drugs and wanting him to participate in their activities. The IM messages he gets often contain reference to drugs and other illegal activities. The conversation is recorded by the application and transmitted securely to a central computer without Joni or the friend knowing it.

How does it work?: 

How does it work? Scenario 2. Drug involvement The parent receives an alert urging him/her to log on to the portal and review the transcript of the conversation. After review they decide the appropriate action and can choose to alert law enforcement from the portal. If the parent chooses to do so, Law enforcement is alerted and receives a copy of the conversation transcript. Law enforcement can then either assume Joni’s online identity to discover more about the friend’s activities or use the transcript as additional evidence to prosecute any crime commited.

Other opportunities: 

Other opportunities The system can also be adapted to support business customers. Many smaller companies do not have the IT staff or technology to monitor their employees internet and IM use. We can offer a version of the product that is oriented towards business, helping them protect trade secrets and other confidential material.
