Listen "Are financial criminals running amok because of Covid-19? How should we be responding?"
Episode Synopsis
This session is sponsored by Atlia-ABM https://altia-abm.com/One of the big challenges of modern society across the world is to cope with the risks of the wider adoption of the virtual world. Precisely because it is expansive, borderless, and facilitates anonymity in transactions it is attractive to offenders. We have heard from a previous webinar that many criminals are going online; we have heard from them that it is both less risky and more lucrative. There is growing concern that Covid-19 has driven more desperate and angry people to crime, exploiting the weaknesses in systems as more people work from home and organisations are in disarray. This webinar will assess:The scale of the threats posed by financial criminalsThe approaches being adopted and weaknesses being exploitedThe routes to better policing of financial criminalsPanellists:Mick Creedon QPM – Altia-ABMNick Downing – Chief Intelligence Officer for CifasSusan Frith – Chief Executive Officer at NHSCFAProf Michael Levi – Professor of Criminology at Cardiff UniversityA video and summary of this session is available here: https://www.theospas.com/2020/08/19/are-financial-criminals-running-amok-because-of-covid-19-how-should-we-be-responding/Sign up to the Security & Risk Thought Leadership Newsletter and Event Updates
