About the event:

The goal of the conference is to begin what is hoped to be an ongoing discussion/ collaboration among public sector law enforcement, financial, and health and human services agencies; private sector financial institutions, FinTech, cyber fraud directors, BSA/AML program directors, etc.; and university-based researchers studying cyber-enabled human crime. This workshop will combine sessions led by experts in these sectors, with an emphasis on identifying challenges, opportunities, and points of collaboration, and outcomes to address specific problems of interest through ongoing partnership, research, and discussion.

Abstract:

The Cyber-Enabled Human Crime Workshop is a first of its kind initiative, where leaders from law enforcement, financial services, and academia are gathering to identify and solve real challenges facing the financial and law-enforcement community.Cyber Enabled Human Crime is the act of leveraging cyber infrastructure (the internet) to exploit victims to commit financial scams, human trafficking, child exploitation, and elder financial exploitation. In this unique, invite–only experience we will shape the future of fighting cyber–enabled human crimes to protect the vulnerable and advance strategic collaboration between the public and private sectors. This isn’t a conference… it’s a workshop that will drive evolution.
