through Internet-based Intelligence Gathering

WHAT:	During this educational workshop on “Intelligence Gathering – How Criminal Groups Impact Businesses Worldwide,” Terry Gudaitis, PhD, Cyber Intelligence Director for Cyveillance, will outline organized (and not so organized) criminal groups and discuss how they impact business and government organizations. Criminals in today’s society are able to conduct their intelligence collections and attacks from any cyber-café in the world – miles or oceans away from their target by just using the Internet. As the Internet grows and becomes more diverse and prolific, so too will the organized groups and individuals who use this mode of communication for planning and targeting. Topics for the workshop include: terrorism, activists, hackers, phishers, and fraud rings. A discussion of how these groups operate, who they target, how they fund their operations, and how they cross-communicate will be included. The discussion and workshop will also include how to stay on top of these threats and design mitigation strategies to better protect organizations. Specifically, attendees will learn: Who the threats in the cyber-world are and what are they doing The criminals’ sources, methods and operations Mitigation Strategies – what can the organization do to combat these threats? How to anticipate future modus operandi – what will be the next move for these criminal groups and how can organizations decrease their vulnerabilities?
