The Investigator and the University College Dublin School of Computer Science are teaming up to host a series of educational workshops that look at contemporary issues around cyber threat intelligence.
Our workshops are aimed at cyber-crime investigators from police forces, ROCUs and other law enforcement agencies who want to enhance and develop their understanding of the current cyber threat intelligence landscape.
Expert speakers will look at current issues, challenges and best practice that will help inform work on the frontline and showcase latest innovation and thinking to inspire and enhance knowledge.
Current attacks and threat actors
The workshops will highlight some of the current attacks and threat actors behind the crimes as well as provide a forum for delegates to engage with our experts and share their own experiences.
There will also be the opportunity to find out more about opportunities to study with University College Dublin, from Rupert Bowen who head up International Post-graduate liaison at the university. Rupert will be joined by some past students who are now successfully working in law enforcement, industry and academia across the world.
• Each event will run from 9.30am till 3pm GMT (approximate time)
• Certificates of CPD will be available for each session.
