Keynote Dinner: The Fight Against Cybercrime
Mixer - Forum
EC3 has seen a steep increase in its activities supporting cybercrime investigations in EU Member States since it was launched in 2013. The demands for its services are boosted by the positive effects of pooling cyber intelligence and resources to fight the most impactful cybercrime networks at EU level, and also in close coordination with key law enforcement authorities from partners outside the EU.
Steven Wilson took over as Head of EC3 in January 2016 and had oversight of one of the largest global cyberstings ever seen, when EC3 and the FBI shut down Alpha Bay and Hansa in a co-ordinated effort (see https://thefinanser.com/2017/12/dangerous-game-whack-mole-dark-web.html/).
What are the immediate threats and challenges ahead, and how is EC3 succeeding in cracking down on these activities? Equally, what is the thinking on cryptocurrencies and the rise of anonymous online payments? How can we fight such activities?
Steven will answer these questions and more over the Financial Services Club’s first quarterly dinner of 2018.
Before joining EC3, Mr Wilson completed 30 years of service with Police Scotland, previously having also served with Strathclyde Police, Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. He has worked in a wide range of Senior Detective roles including major investigations, counter terrorism, covert policing, management of sex offenders, fugitives and witness protection. He had responsibility for all aspects of cyber and cyber enabled crime in Scotland and sat on government, industry and academic groups. He also represented Scotland on UK national and European cyber groups.
