| Agenda |
| The internet and mobile communications are increasingly being used by criminals to perpetrate crimes threatening our national security. Very often criminals make use of these technologies in unpredictable ways, very often they are not based within the sovereign territory of our country and sometimes our laws have no teeth to persecute these criminals. |
| The intractability of cyber crimes often leads to situations where technology innovators, law and law enforcement pull in different directions and work in an environment of mutual suspicion. While every one accepts that safeguarding national security is of utmost importance, everyone also accepts that without constant innovation technology will not move forward. |
| For creating and environment in which national security is safeguarded and yet innovation can flourish, the need is for the stakeholders such as policy makers, cyber experts, law enforcement agencies and industry to cooperate in a sustainable manner fully understanding and appreciating one another’s perspectives, strengths and weaknesses and complementing one another. |
| It is with this spirit of co-operation and mutual understanding that this conference is conceived. The three main sessions of the conference will address a) current levels of cooperation between various stakeholders, international examples and the desired level of cooperation; b) emerging nature of transborder crimes and the international cooperation required to address them and c) the nature of the legal structure in safeguarding national security and promoting innovation. |
| During the conference, panelists will move from a broad analysis of overall vulnerabilities in the cyber space to a focused examination of specific crimes and law enforcement measures such as sophisticated surveillance mechanisms. The panels will address terrorism as well as the challenges law enforcement faces, from computer viruses to pornography. Beyond specific threats and crimes, panels will examine how the online environment affects the legal process, including prosecution, evidence and punishment. The Panels will also delve on ways in which law enforcement agencies and Industry can synergize their efforts to address the issue of Cyber Crime and at the same time promote innovation. |
| The conference is expected to be attended by more than 250 delegates comprising senior executives of internet and mobile industry, senior law enforcement officers, policy makers, legal experts among others. |
