Conference Focus
The Internet has made it easier to perpetrate crimes by providing criminals an
avenue for launching attacks with relative anonymity. The increased complexity of
the communication and networking infrastructure is making investigation of the cyber
crimes difficult. Clues of illegal activities are often buried in large volumes of
data that needs to be sifted through in order to detect crimes and collect evidence.
The investigations are increasingly cross-border requiring coordinated police efforts
in different jurisdictions.
The field of digital forensics and cyber crime investigation has become very important
for law enforcement, national security, and information assurance. This is a
multidisciplinary area that encompasses law, computer science, finance, telecommunications,
data analytics, and policing. This conference brings together practitioners and researchers
from diverse fields providing opportunities for business and intellectual engagement
among attendees.
We are providing a venue that not only offers chances for networking, but also
high-quality training opportunities through expert speakers, state-of-the-art work
from researchers around the world, and tutorials on basic and advanced forensic
techniques and methods of cyber crime investigation. This ICST conference is
endorsed by EAI and organized in cooperation with the University College Dublin
Centre for Cybercrime Investigation and with the technical cooperation of
Create-Net.
