Newcastle Law Society in partnership with the Northern Society for Chartered Accountants (NORSCA) have pleasure in hosting a Cyber Crime Seminar on Wednesday the 23rd of October from 5.30pm at the offices of Womble Bond Dickinson, The Spark, Draymans Way, Newcastle Helix, NE4 5DE. Light refreshments will be provided.
We are working closely with The North East Regional Cyber Crime Unit (NERCCU) to raise awareness of the rise in cyber crime in the region. Northumbria Police’s Crime Prepare and Protect Team are keen to support legal and accountancy firms to understand current cyber crime threats and the extent to why both of these professional services are being targeted by cyber criminals and hacktivists. Receive valuable advice on fraud awareness and the current trends in cyber crime and the latest North East Victim Reports. Building resilience against fraud is crucial and cyber security training for organisations of all sizes could ultimately prepare and protect against being a victim of cyber attack.
Adam Jackson, an Associate Professor of Law at Northumbria University will present the latest research into EncroChat and the Dark Web, giving a glimpse into the future of complex criminal investigations and what lessons can be learned?
