Trash Bags and Shoeboxes

If you stuffed a year of receipts into trash bags and dumped them on your accountant every April, they would stop taking your calls. That is what our industry hands law enforcement, and then we wonder why nobody prosecutes cybercrime.

The Deterrence Delusion

Ninety-two percent of business owners say they would call the police about a ransomware attack. Eighteen percent of actual victims do. The reason cybercrime feels unattributable is not physics. It is that we shred the evidence at ingest.

Hard-Earned Trust, Automated Away

Someone stood up a slick "WitFoo Authorised Partner" store selling licences we never made, and the registrar's abuse desk answered with a form letter. A look at counterfeit partner programmes, the supply-chain risk they create, and what happens when we automate away the judgement that trust actually depends on.

GrrCON 2024 - Birthing Perjury-free AI

Abstract

Cybersecurity analysis leading to deterrence of cybercrime requires processing thousands to billions of digital signals per second. Those signals must be accurately comprehended, forensically preserved then used to detect and investigate potential cybercrime. The work products must not only assist the investigators but must be translated into language that non-technical lay audiences including judges, lawyers and jurors can understand.

This presentation explores how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), natural language processing (NLP), graph-theory and artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) can play a role in delivering these outcomes.

The session includes demonstrations of opensource toolkits, datasets and models designed to assist in this work.

GrrCON 2023 - Deterring Cybercrime via a Global CyberGrid

Abstract

Detecting, catching and successfully prosecuting cybercrime requires collaboration across private sector, law enforcement, insurance companies and national security agencies. In this session, approaches to collect, analyze, store and share digital evidence will be examined. Methods of safely transmitting data between private sector and law enforcement will be discussed. Demonstration of workflows between investigators, law enforcement, prosecutors and insurance adjusters will be covered.
