The word ‘Darknet’ is closely associated with a range of criminal activities, and the security risks to business are stark. The secret world the dark web provides has provided an ideal environment for offenders to exchange ideas, and trade illegal goods as diverse as drugs and guns, buy information such as the financial details of people, and to hire offenders to carry out crimes including kidnapping and murder. Unsurprisingly it has become a haven of organised crime group activity. Businesses that extract threat intelligence from the Darknet place themselves at a security advantage and those that don’t runs serious risks. In this webinar we will discuss:

The nature of crime on the darknet and the security implications
The role of security personnel in managing the darknet
The evolution of the darknet and the implications for security

Panellists:
Gary Hibberd – The Professor of Communicating Cyber at Cyberfort Group
Pauline Norstrom – CEO at Anekanta Consulting
Dr. Victoria Wang – Reader in Security and Cyber-crime at University of Portsmouth
