IMA Webinar Broadcast: Protecting Our Children Online
2023-04-19 14:30 - 15:30 (America/New_York)
It’s unthinkable, but every year, thousands of children become victims of crime from online predators. These crimes include the production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sextortion, and domestic and foreign travel by individuals to engage in sexual activity with children. In 1995, the FBI launched the Innocent Images National Initiative to combat child exploitation. Today, there are several hundred Task Forces across the country to help prevent children from becoming victims of crimes.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Autonomous Systems Threats, Counter Autonomy, and the Challenges Facing Us
2023-04-20 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Today’s Drones and Future Threats: We are fairly good at detecting and tracking commercial, off the shelf UAVs (aka drones) but lack the legal and regulatory authority to effectively counter them. At the start of the presentation, we will briefly review the legal state of play for countering UAVs domestically. We are also technically ill prepared for future threats. There are many examples of drones, and drone capabilities that we are not prepared to track, investigate, or counter. We will review a number of examples of potential future drone threats to keep in mind. David Kovar, a private sector member of the NH Information and Analysis Center, will take us through these issues, the risks they pose to society, and the challenges we face in mitigating those risks.
Presenters:
David Kovar, CEO, Founder
David Kovar has been involved with cybersecurity and digital forensics for over 20 years. In 2015 he gave his first public presentation on drone forensics while working for Ernst and Young as an incident response senior manager.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Human Factor Controls and Behavior Change
2023-06-27 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
Security Awareness is well known for being the “best bang for the buck” out of all the risk mitigation techniques, but is it really? For Security Awareness to be effective it must change the behaviors of employees and ideally lead to a mature security culture in your organization.
Many programs that do not use adult education techniques and neuroscience fail to achieve behavior change and can even make things worse. Once employees start to have a negative impression about information security, feel helpless or begin to consider remediation as punitive, great damage has been done to the security culture and this can be difficult to reverse. This fun and interactive presentation will help you to gain an understanding about effective Security Awareness program creation and implementation as well as to build buy-in for a mature security culture.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Recognizing Hostile Surveillance by Terrorist Groups and Organized Criminals
2023-06-29 08:30 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Step into the world of crime prevention with our immersive course on “Recognizing Hostile Surveillance”. This three-hour training is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to detect and report effectively on hostile surveillance activities.
Hostile surveillance is a process by which individuals or groups systematically observe and gather information about a person, group, or location with malicious intent. This may be carried out by criminal groups, terrorists, stalkers, or any other entities with intent to harm or exploit. The purpose of hostile surveillance can vary, but it is often conducted as a precursor to serious crimes like kidnappings, bombings, thefts, or acts of terrorism. The surveillance provides valuable information to these individuals or groups, allowing them to plan and execute their harmful actions more effectively. They may be looking for patterns, routines, vulnerabilities, or any other useful information that would facilitate their intended crime.
This course will help you to:
· Understand the nature of surveillance tactics used by criminal groups and organized crime syndicates.
· Identify signs of physical and digital surveillance.
· Grasp the motivations behind criminal surveillance activities.
· Learn from real-world case studies to see how surveillance has been successfully detected and addressed.
· Develop effective strategies for countering surveillance and improving personal and professional security.
