Modern financial crimes like ransomware present novel challenges for attribution and remediation. Where a bank robbery has a clear time, place, and set of actors, a ransomware attack may utilize infrastructure in neighboring countries, and involve threat actors that reside across the globe. So how can we address ransomware as a cross-border crime? This panel will discuss questions of attribution and accountability with international ransomware threat actors and the so-called “safe havens” where they avoid scrutiny, and explore possible interventions, both diplomatic and operational, to mitigate the growing ransomware threat.
For our panel discussion, we are pleased to welcome:
Jaya Baloo, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Avast Software
Philipp Amann, Head of Strategy European Cybercrime Center (EC3), Europol
Josephine Wolff, Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity Policy, Tufts University
Moderated by Christopher Painter, President, Global Forum on Cyber Expertise Foundation
