Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) refers to any visual depiction, including photographs, videos, or digital images, that shows a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This material is illegal and harmful, and its production, distribution, or possession is a serious crime in many jurisdictions. Efforts to combat CSAM involve law enforcement agencies, internet service providers, and child protection organizations working together to identify and remove such content from the internet, as well as to support victims and prevent future abuse.
CSAM can also refer to CyberSecurity Asset Management, which is a systematic approach to identifying, managing, and protecting an organization’s information assets. This includes maintaining an accurate inventory of assets, assessing their security posture, and implementing measures to mitigate risks. Effective CyberSecurity Asset Management helps organizations understand their vulnerabilities, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and improve their overall security posture by prioritizing resources and efforts based on the criticality of their assets.
