On-line of Duty: How police are cracking down on global cyber crime
2024-08-30 , Track 1

Hear about one of the South West Regional Cyber Crime Unit's many success stories, from the initial crime report through to action against the perpetrators. It will also include some takeaways for organisations to help protect themselves from cyber crime.


Cyber crime is a global threat but is impacting local organisations here in the South West every day (as well as the rest of the UK). Join Sam P as she talks you through a deep dive of one of the units recent investigations. They will discuss what happened, the repercussions for organisations, and what you can do to help protect against this threat. We will also cover the importance of reporting and how cooperation between the private and public sector is essential in tackling this prominent threat.

The SWRCCU investigate cyber crimes affecting South West organisations. Our Cyber Protect Officers provide free and impartial cyber security guidance, workshops and resources to organisations of all sizes and sectors. This is a service offered both by ourselves and your local force's cyber crime unit.
