    Webinar: Mobile Device Vulnerability Discovery and Exploit Development: A Primer

    Mobile device forensics often takes center stage during investigations and criminal intelligence operations involving digital devices. The capability of these devices is nearly as impressive as the quantity of them. However, recently the burden on examiners is increasing due to lack of lawful access and the need for examiners to rely more heavily on lesser amounts of data available for analysis. This webinar directly answers two of the underlying questions at the forefront of many discussions:

    1. Why are we unable to gain lawful access to locked devices as we once were?
    2. Why do our tools seem to support fewer devices, yet cost more?

This webinar directly answers two of the underlying questions at the forefront of many discussions:

    1. Why are we unable to gain lawful access to locked devices as we once were?
    2. Why do our tools seem to support fewer devices, yet cost more?

    This webinar will focus on the process of mobile device vulnerability discovery and research with special attention given to threat modeling and the specific use of lawful access in a global market. Presenters will highlight examples of publicly disclosed mobile device vulnerabilities and provide them to participants for further reading. Vulnerability discovery, however, is only half of the equation. An exploit needs to be developed to leverage the discovered vulnerability. Presenters will explain a holistic approach to mobile device exploit development and will show participants examples of public exploits for mobile devices and connections to capabilities they may already be familiar with.

    Webinar: A Money Laundering Primer

    Money laundering is an integral part of many, if not most, of crime and terror finance. From local crime and tax avoidance to transnational networks, the source of money will be masked to conceal the source and at the same time serve to make the money usable in the legitimate worlds of business and finance. This requires the professionals involved to exercise expertise, business acumen, and power influence. This webinar will walk through the basic elements of the money laundering process, describe the phases of money laundering, define money laundering, describe the element of a money laundering network, outline areas particularly vulnerable to money laundering, discuss case studies of different types of money laundering, and discuss possible detection/identification of money laundering activities.

    IA102 Introduction to Link Analysis (May 6, 2021, Virtual)

    This course introduces analysts to the broader concepts of connecting the dots through link analysis. A critical portion of conducting a successful analytical investigation is the ability to link together and understand the complexities of the connectedness between people and organizations. Introduction to Link Analysis (ILA) expands on the basic principles of link and association analyses explored in the Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT) while building a framework for more advanced methods such as social network analysis.

      IA101 Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (May 10–13, 2021, Virtual)

      This course addresses the critical need for well-trained intelligence analysts to interpret growing amounts of information. Topics include the intelligence cycle, analytical thinking skills, the importance of strategic analysis, communication and social media analysis, recommendation development, and legal and ethical issues. Students work hands-on with specialized software to synthesize information and develop various products of intelligence. The course was developed by a consortium that included the National White Collar Crime Center, Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit, the International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysis, and the Regional Information Sharing System.
