This presentation takes a look back over the past 30 years of cybercrime and cyber security from an APAC perspective. Seen through the eyes of an Asia veteran who has experienced cybersecurity and cybercrime investigation as a cop, corporate investigator and now consultant, this is not just a journey through how we have evolved as an industry, but also where we have succeeded and failed to learn the lessons of the past.The key is criminal ingenuity. For every technological advance that we have made during those 30 years, someone somewhere has looked at it from a very different and often unexpected perspective. As we move forward into a world dominated by artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, connected medical devices, robotics and blockchain, are we able to learn from experience and evolve into a safer world? The nature of future technologies having life threatening consequences demands that we get it right! With that in mind, it never hurts to reflect on the stories from the past and explore why we are still needed more than ever to address threats as yet unknown, but perhaps predictable.
