A new, more elusive type of crime

From 5G computing and 3D printing to augmented reality and blockchain, the twenty-first century has seen incredible technological innovations that are advancing society. But not everyone uses IT for social good.

Phishing. Hacking. Identity theft. Ransomware. Emerging technologies have led to a new wave of crime. Illegal activities that can impact anyone in any country – and at any time.

Technology is by no means slowing down. But as it accelerates the development of our world, criminals are uncovering new ways to exploit it.

A collaboration between Law and IT, this Monash Tech Talk will gather an esteemed panel of leading cybersecurity experts and legal practitioners to give you insights into:

  • the latest cybercrime trends and their relevance to industry – with case examples.
  • the laws surrounding cybercrime.
  • the challenges of prosecuting transnational cybercrimes.
  • how technology is being used to address cybercrime.
  • the future of cybercrime as technology advances.
