Synopsis
We live in a connected world that will only increase through the proliferation of technologies such as the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. Undoubtedly the advancement of technology will provide exciting opportunities and career paths for those with the right skills.
However our connected lives also provides challenges with more younger people getting involved with cyber offending. Many do it for fun without realising the consequences of their actions and that their actions are criminal, but the penalties can have an impact on their future aspirations.
Cyber crime is not a victimless crime and is taken extremely seriously by law enforcement. This session will cover:
- The UK Government’s ‘4P’ approach to serious crime threats
- The challenges faced by UK law enforcement through the availability of cyber attack tools as a service.
- Pathways into cyber offending taken by younger people and their motivations and drivers.
- The aims and objectives of the Cyber Choices Programme coordinated by the National Cyber Crime Unit and delivered through regional and local force officers.
- Methods used by Cyber Choices officers to engage and divert the younger age group from cyber offending.
- Education initiatives to promote cyber responsibility and national cyber challenges to deliver the Cyber Choices message and Computer Misuse Act 1990 awareness.
