Second Feature Event will include:

Mr Jeff Nash of BlueBear Law Enforcement Services - LACE (Law-enforcement Against Child Exploitation) Software

Mr. Nash has over 30 years experience working with high technology in engineering, product management, business development and sales bringing extensive capability in technology management, marketing and transaction culmination.

He is a Professional Engineer with a B.E.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Western Ontario.

Mr Robert Beggs of Digital Defence - Organized Cybercrime - Follow the Money!

To date, most assessments of cybercrime by organized criminals (more than 3 people working together) have focused on the technical aspects of detecting and responding to attacks such as phishing, theft of identity and intellectual property, and use of advanced persistent threats, APTs. This talk will treat organized cybercrime as a business, and use a "value chain" perspective to identify the inputs and outputs required to enable crimes.

In short, we're going to follow the money, and answer the questions: Who is involved, and what is the structure of the online crime environment? How does an attack, or placement of an APT, generate revenue for organized crime? Finally, how is money laundered?

Speaker bio: Robert Beggs is the President of DigitalDefence, a Canadian firm specializing in preventing and responding to data security and privacy breaches. He has been responsible for the technical leadership and project management of more than 300 consulting engagements, including policy development and review, standards compliance assessments, attack and penetration testing of wired and wireless networks, third party security assessments, incident response and forensics, and other projects.

So come on out and enjoy what should be a great and rewarding meeting for all!!
