COVID-19, Encrochat, massive and recurring data breaches and ransomware attacks, artificial intelligence gone wild, etc., etc. The dynamics of global insecurity ... digital and otherwise and all the related threats ... are eerily similar to the lead-up to the pandemic. It can sound like a cacophony. And just like with the pandemic, the alarm has been ringing about digital security for decades, but we are just hitting snooze instead of waking up and dealing with the threat. Let's unpack some of this and look at the vulnerability of networked systems and think about it in terms's of DIC's three main themes this year: traditional digital investigations, cloud investigations and open source intelligence.

We will have a look at what our team has been working on the past year, demonstrations will be done live and some on video to give you the best overview of our new products and features.

Top 3 answers on the board, here is the question: What do people ask first about technology and device extraction? #1 Can you bypass screen locks? YES! #2 Can you access encrypted devices? YES! #3 Is there additional cost for this? NO! This conversation is an Android-related device and chipset attack-fest targeting Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, MediaTek and others. The idea is to learn to fish for yourself and be successful in-house without sending devices out for help at additional cost! Attend this session to learn about the latest methods of device extraction and decryption in Oxygen Forensic Detective.

Stephen Gregory and Iain Nash from OpenText will deliver an update on Encase Forensic® and discuss the new and existing features that support a modern forensic workflow, and how they can be put to best use to support the requirements of today’s forensic investigations. The presentation will cover options for cloud processing in Microsoft Azure® and cloud licensing options, as well as the existing cloud repository connectors offered by EnCase Forensic®.

During this session, Kai Jessen will provide a quick introduction and update on NUIX as a software platform provider – for on-premise solutions and in the Cloud.

Andreas Kleinert will provide an overview on solutions and associated workflows which are supported by NUIX as end-to-end platform supplier.
Either in a full on-premise setup, in the NUIX AWS-based Cloud SaaS cloud environment or – if needed - in any custom or native (hybrid) Cloud configuration.

NUIX will show up how their truly open platform by means of 3^rd party interoperability / integration and process automation capabilities does provide a true end-to-end experience, accompanied by mature AI capabilities.

The exponential growth of data has led investigations and lawyers to add the use of artificial intelligence as an important tool in the arsenal. Using AI can help find key facts and important events within data fast and help reduce the overall burden of large sets of data.

What you'll learn

You will learn the technologies behind Reveal’s AI and different strategies to use AI in an investigation or legal matter.

• Auto-scaling hardware resources to accelerate data processing to new heights;

• Leveraging local and cloud resources on the same project; and

• Controlling costs through resource and Case management.

You may have heard the saying “…skate to where the puck is going.” All due respect to Wayne Gretsky, in most things in this world, things move less quickly than a hockey puck. Most professionals have to be able to live and work in two timelines—where the puck is today, and where it is going in the future. The cloud is a great example of that, which creates real operational and tactical challenges.

In this session, Forensic & Discovery Experts will gain practical insight on how Rampiva clients are leveraging Azure and AWS to support their end clients today while preparing for the operating environments of tomorrow.

The discovery of the most sophisticated cyber intrusion ever to be mounted against a country created chills across the entire cybersecurity ecosystem. This cyber-attack is exceptionally complex and continues to evolve. This panel will discuss how SolarWinds happened, how that attack completely upended our cyber world and what it means for the future.

The complexity of digital investigations and the increasing volume of data requires you to need an enhanced approach to your digital investigations, so that you can better serve your customers without increasing headcount or requiring drastic investments in new digital forensic equipment.

In this session Rhys Tooby, Solutions Consultant at Magnet Forensics, will perform covert remote collection of Windows and macOS devices with an ad hoc agent and you’ll learn how to perform advanced cloud acquisition from Office 365, G Suite, Box, AWS S3, EC2 and Azure virtual machines.

The market for video analytics has exploded in recent years – both from an end user demand perspective, and with the entrance of new analytic tools and capabilities to meet those use cases. In a time where breadth, accuracy,
performance and flexibility are the key building blocks to an innovative and extensive video analytics platform, this webinar session will address the latest video analytics product capabilities, as part of a fully integrated
solution for forensic video review, real-time situational awareness and business intelligence.

Figuring out how people are connected is a crucial part of most digital investigations, and social networks present investigators with new opportunities and challenges in tracing social connections.
Our specialized software tool Social Network Harvester (SNH), helps investigators piece together information distributed across the social media landscape. SNH has been engineered to address the opportunities and challenges associated with the tasks of collecting, analyzing, and visualizing social media information.

The increasing use of social media, mobile apps, and the dark web has led to significant growth of illegal activities on the internet. These platforms are used by criminals, terrorists, and hackers who are able to conduct operations with minimal visibility. Enterprises, as well as government agencies, deal with manual web investigations on a day-to-day basis facing the various challenges in exposing their digital footprint. Web Intelligence has become a crucial part of intelligence methodologies and security management.

Cobwebs offers a solution in the form of an automated web investigation platform, which enables analysts to easily identify new targets and groups, reveal hidden data, and complete an entire investigation within minutes. Users can gain deep insights, including locations, context, internal relations, group structure, hierarchies, and more. Join this session to learn about the functionalities of cobwebs' web intelligence platform for cyber investigations!

This workshop will introduce the nuts and bolts of cryptocurrency use and investigations. Since 2013 there has been a consistent decrease in reported bulk cash seizures by agencies throughout the United States. Trends indicate that this due to increased cryptocurrency use by criminals in favor of cash. The lack of cash seizure for known cash intensive activities should be an automatic red flag for potential cryptocurrency usage to obfuscate and move funds. The signs of cryptocurrency usage can easily be overlooked by investigators unfamiliar with what to look for. Attendees will learn how to be on the look-out for cryptocurrency use in investigations.

Attendees will learn about blockchain forensics, with a specific focus on tracing cryptocurrency. Tracing can be used to uncover criminal uses of cryptocurrency, including money laundering, payment fraud and terrorist financing, and provide strong evidence of funds flow or ill-gotten gains in a criminal case. Attendees will learn basic approaches to tracing source of cryptocurrency funds and develop an understanding of how blockchain attribution de-anonymizes cryptocurrency transactions.

Digital investigations are now an integral part of policing and becoming more complicated, voluminous and borderless. Forensic Analytics’ scenario-based presentation will demonstrate how our solutions are helping in almost every category of criminal investigation that has a digital component, in some cases achieving 90% plead rates through getting the data together for a charging decision quickly, saving the public purse millions. We will show our innovative approaches to analysis and presentation of evidence, which are helping to safeguard vulnerable people, dismantle organised crime groups and save the lives of high-risk missing people in live-time investigations, as well as firmly establish ourselves as part of the fabric of the criminal justice system within the UK.
