European Cybercrime Sleuths Plot Data Exchange Strategies to Confront Cybercrime Gangs at Bratislava ConferenceGlobal cybercrime-fighting association APWG.EU is hosting its eCrime 2016 program on October 5-7 in Bratislava, Slovakia, presenting advanced data analysis and data exchange schemes to automate the global response to cybercrime. Cybercrime researchers and responders will be focusing on shared platforms for the capture and exchange of event data and intelligence related to cybercrimes to inform programmatic responses on a global scale. "Cybercrime gangs' cooperation in development of their attack programs is key to their success. Investigators and responders have a lot to learn from them in that regard," said APWG Secretary General Peter Cassidy. The agenda is here: https://apwg.eu/apwg-events/ecrime2016eu/agenda Among the key research presented this October are presentations on:
"The response to cybercrime must be as programmatic as the crimes themselves if the responder community is to keep pace. This conference features presentations on cooperative data collection, data analysis and data exchange routines to confound the felonious enterprises of the attacking cybergangs," said Mr. Cassidy. In observance of European CyberSecurity Month (ECSM), APWG.EU will be hosting a Train the Trainer session at the start of the conference on Wednesday, October 5 to train cybersecurity activists from Slovakia in imparting cybersafety principles and practices to large audiences of users. The conference, which will take place during the Slovak presidency of the Council of the EU, will be hosed by Slovenská sporitelna (a member of the Erste Group), the country's leading retail bank. It will also count with the support of ESET, Slovakia's corporate flagship and one of the world's best-known AV, and Preventista.sk, a local civic organization aimed at raising awareness against cybercrime.
