Cyber Sexual Abuse & Human Trafficking: Understanding the Nexus

In recent years, the digital landscape has provided perpetrators with new tools and avenues to exploit vulnerable individuals for sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Cyber sexual abuse crimes encompass a wide range of activities, including online grooming, non-consensual sharing of intimate images revenge porn, and sextortion. These crimes often serve as a precursor to sex trafficking, creating a dangerous overlap that demands urgent attention. The legal system is unable to keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of technology and the sophistication of cybercriminal tactics. Goals of the Webinar: • Raise Awareness: Educate participants about the definitions, characteristics, and consequences of cyber sexual abuse crimes and sex trafficking. • Highlight the Connection: Examine the intricate connections between cyber sexual abuse and sex trafficking, emphasizing the grooming process and recruitment tactics used by traffickers. • Address the challenges in the legal systems that prevent victims from getting justice • Offer proposed next steps on how to address these issues Presented by: Melissa Kaiser, consultant, Melkai Consulting Lindsay Lieberman, Esq., Founder, Managing Attorney, Lindsey Lieberman, LLC NW3C does not share webinar attendees personally identifiable information with any third party without opt iin consent given during registration.

Investigating Swatting

Often viewed as a nuisance as opposed to a crime, swatting calls have become extremely common over the past decade. Intertwined with the online gaming culture, swatting has become so popular that there are Discord, YouTube, and Telegram channels dedicated to it. Many police departments feel that these cases will often lead them outside of their jurisdictions, or even their country, and thus they are fruitless and pointless investigations. Nothing could be further from the truth! This webinar will cover common swatting and VoIP abuse trends, best investigatory avenues, and case studies.

Breaking the Triage Myth: The importance of Time to First Evidence

Digital forensics veterans Alan McConnell and Jeff Bell will discuss the importance of triage in investigations and its role in quickly finding and prioritizing evidence in this webinar. We will get into the idea of true triage, which centers on quickly locating evidence and moving the investigation forward FAST. We will discuss some of the issues with current thoughts regarding triage and how thorough block level hashing can help solve them. True triage tools utilizing cutting-edge technologies can drastically improve case turnaround times, cut investigator time on scene, and cut costs while simultaneously clearing out evidence backlogs. We will demonstrate some of the available technologies that can facilitate your digital forensics investigations and present real-world instances of the advantages we have discussed. Come learn how to conduct more efficient investigations at this training event by employing true triage with cutting-edge technology.

The Brain Behind The Badge

Throughout your career, training is an essential part of your job which gives you the ability to react without having to "think" about what you are doing. Brain science is the reason WHY some reactions are different, and it occurs unconsciously. Why do you remember colors, smells, sounds, tastes, or textures but cannot remember how many times you fired your weapon or the exact timeline of certain events? Why does unintentional recall happen when we hear a certain noise? Why does our "thinking brain" shut down, as do many bodily functions, when we are stressed? Why do we sometimes lose the ability to put words to situations and react only with our "senses"? During this session, we will look at what actually happens in your brain and how it impacts you, your career, and your family and how you can create a plan to offset stressors and mitigate stress.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine: How to Eat to Reduce Pain

Cyber Threats to Public Safety: Part 1

In today's cyber threat environment, attackers and defenders are constantly trying to outmaneuver each other and the stakes are higher than ever, particularly for mission-critical systems and communications. Understanding the methods and motivations of threat actors is crucial to developing a proactive program to defend against and prevent future attacks. In part one of our four part webinar series, we will introduce our insights and analysis of the most significant and impactful cyber threats facing public safety organizations. In our review of the 2022 landscape, we will breakdown the drivers of the threat actors seeking to profit or cripple mission critical systems, while introducing how we seek to combat these threats with collaboration and intelligence sharing through the Public Safety Threat Alliance (PSTA). We will also share details about the PSTAs free membership for public safety agencies, and how they can join this critical information sharing community today and begin improving their cybersecurity posture against cyber threats to their critical systems.

Deep Dive into the Networking of the Internet of Things (IoT)

By the year 2025, it is expected that there will be over 45 billion connected devices around the world that is 9.27 connected devices per person. The Internet of Things (IoT) utilizes a variety of communication standards and a unique set of networking protocols to connect these devices. This webinar will explore these unique IoT networking protocols along with their varied IoT topography and explain IoT network interrogation techniques to be used in an investigation. Topics will include, connectivity communication options and a review of some of the more commonly located "Mesh" Personal Area Networks (PAN) and Home Local Area Networks (HAN), such as Matter, Thread, Z wave, and Zigbee that may be encountered during an investigation.
