If you are responsible for helping to prevent computer crime in your organisation then this autumn event on computer crime and forensics may be of interest to you ... Who's Minding the Shop? Computer Crime and Forensics 2002 16-17 October 2002 Billesley Manor, near Stratford Upon Avon This conference will reflect the current state of understanding of the Computer Crime and Forensics industry. It will also provide a forum for the introduction of ground-breaking ideas. By combining lectures, experiential learning sessions, group discussion and networking this event will provide a powerful environment for inspiration and invention. The world is becoming smaller as more and more organisations and individuals connect electronically. As a result we are witnessing an alarming increase in white-collar computer crime and abuse of internal systems. The financial losses of identified crimes are increasing year on year. Computer crime may hinge around one computer or whole networks. After the proverbial horse has bolted computer forensic specialists come in and piece together what happened. If spotted early enough forensics can actually enable you to catch the perpetrator red handed! This event is for Heads of IT Heads of Internal Audit and Risk Heads of Internal Investigation Law Specialists in Fraud, Computer Law and Commercial Litigation. What we will cover Theft of Proprietary information (Trade secrets / Client information) Financial Fraud Economic Espionage Cyber Extortion Sabotage Insider Abuse Money Laundering You will learn Social engineering - people, the most prevalent threat. How to profile a perpetrator What is and is not admissible evidence - the legislative and jurisdictional framework is highly variable and requires a delicate understanding of the principles to avoid potentially embarrassing and costly mistakes. Data Protection, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), Lawful Business Regulations, The Human Rights Act and Electronic Discovery Disclosure Run a real time 'whodunnit' - an interactive workshop developing investigation skills What technology there is and where forensic technology is going - ground breaking How best to protect your company and it's information The issue The threat from computer crime and other information security breaches continue unabated and the financial toll is mounting. * Technology alone cannot thwart cyber attacks * The threat from inside the organisation is far greater than the threat from outside * Security comes from understanding systems, goals and methods * Increased recognition that information has value * As the world becomes more electronically connected and integrated, attempts at committing financial fraud are only going to increase * Greed and revenge are not the only motives. Some cyber crimes are crimes of passion Cases * July 2001 - Avant (software company) were ordered to pay $182million in restitution for stealing source code (proprietary information) from Cadence, one of their competitors. * In one case several years ago, involving Avery Dennison, one lost secret formula was quantified as being worth more than $40million. In that case, Avery Dennison used only the cost of their investment. If you were a large company, don't you think the loss of reputation alone due to a theft, say, of customer information entrusted to you would be worth more than $50million Professional Training Attendance at this conference will contribute towards your professional training development. * Foundation Certificate in 'Effective Criminal Investigations' - issued by a leading industry training company * CPD applied for Venue Features Listed in the Domesday Book Billesley Manor is set in eleven acres of grounds and has an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts and croquet lawn. There will be scheduled time for use of the hotel facilities.
