E-Crime Congress 2011

20 October 2011 – Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London

The E-Crime Congress is designed to meet the needs of key stakeholders and decision makers who are responsible for managing information and technology risk, protecting sensitive data, securing technology and ensuring compliance with multiple regulatory requirements. The agenda provided strategic and technical advice, examples of best practice and practical case studies that detailed how in-house professionals can meet the demands of evolving business models. The conference provided unique perspectives on how organisations can take advantage of emerging opportunities to increase productivity or decrease cost, while at the same time maintaining the security and integrity of IT systems and electronic assets.

Finmeccanica was one of the sponsors of the conference's Education Seminars. Oscar O'Connor, Services Director for Finmeccanica Cyber Solutions, presenated a seminar entitled "What organisations and individuals can do to aid law enforcement in preventing and prosecuting cyber crime", in which he outlined the main categories of cyber crime and the ways in which businesses and organisations can protect themselves and therefore prevent crime. These include: Identity theft; Intellectual property theft; financial theft through, for example, web store cloning; financial fraud; and money laundering.
