On behalf of the Society for the Policing of Cyberspace (POLCYB), and SPB partner Scott Warren, CPW readers are invited to attend a virtual POLCYB webinar focused on “Technology in Enforcement: How Technology is Impacting the Investigation and Prosecution of Crime and Cybercriminals” on June 16th (North America evening) or 17th (Asia morning) depending on your time zone. https://www.polcyb.org/Events/APACSpring2021Poster.html

If you are not familiar with POLCYB, it is a global non-profit made up of law enforcement, prosecutors, governments, companies and individuals focused on addressing issues and solutions related to cybercrime prevention, detection, and response, including impact of emerging technologies.  POLCYB also conducts public education on cybercrime threats and preventative measures (www.POLCYB.org).  For this webinar, we are bringing together experts from across the globe to discuss the recent challenges AND solutions impacting us in these areas. This event is co-hosted by TELUS.

As technology expands into our daily lives and accelerates in this COVID era, this panel will explore its affect on the investigation and prosecution of crime and cybercriminals.  Featuring a panel of global experts, come to hear about:

  • The digitization of investigations and the courts;
  • How new technology advances regional cyber capacity building;
  • Digital evidence management, particularly in crypto and anti-money laundering cases;
  • Recent challenges in digital investigations, including end-to-end encryption and biometric device locks;
  • Recent developments in cyber security laws and data sovereignty policies in Asia and including a summary on the latest revisions to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime – considerations for  global cooperation;
  • Good practices in digital collections, investigations and for educating/protecting the public.
