Have you ever wondered what your electronic devices say about you? What your electronic footprint really looks like? Or what the ‘Dark Web’ is really all about?  You are invited to sneak a peek behind the curtain and into cyberspace for a non-technical look at this dynamic frontier for business risk.  Whilst the internet has fundamentally changed the way we do business, it is not without its own set of unique risks - Malware, Ransomware, Social Engineering, Intellectual Property theft, Fraud and rogue employees just to name a few. Stan and the BDO Forensic team spend their days undertaking complex computer and internet-based investigations in cyberspace and present a unique insight into what can - and does - occur on an almost daily basis. Littered with real life examples, this informative presentation will demonstrate what can happen when things go wrong, and what you can do about it.  Join us for an interesting and enlightening look into this alternative universe of 1’s and 0’s and a discrete peek at the dark side.
