Cybercrime Trends with Interpol

June 15, 2021

Cybercrime has skyrocketed during COVID-19 and while thankfully, the door is firmly closed on the year that was 2020, a strong cybersecurity posture has never been more important for organisations to maintain.

Join a panel of industry experts as they review a record year of cyberattacks, and discuss best practice advice to protect your organisation in this webinar on-demand. Hear from a veteran in international cybercrime enforcement, as he shares global trends contrasted with Australian insights. For instance did you know, Australia is over represented globally for business email compromise, with around 20% of all business email attacks targeting Australian companies.

With long careers in the fight against cybercrime our expert panel includes:

Doug Witschi, 30-year law enforcement veteran and Deputy Director of Interpol
Corien Vermaak, Cybersecurity Specialist with Cisco
Richard Dornhart, National Practice Manager – Security at Data^#3.
