They will discuss the difficulties of obtaining large amounts of cryptocurrency, review how financial institutions are increasingly  scrutinizing large dollar cryptocurrency acquisitions, and how these delays can damage a settlement price as it relates to cybercrimes. We will also explore the compliance aspect of this topic and the future of regulations in this area, including sanctions and complicit cryptocurrency exchanges. And finally, they will cover threat actor evasion methods as well as detection methods to help companies best protect their most valuable assets.

Attendees will learn:

  • The role that cryptocurrency plays in cybercrime, including the types of cryptocurrency preferences of the cyber underground
  • The state of the ransomware market: the top attack vectors, the evolution of ransomware groups, increase in initial access brokers, and more 
  • Why and how compliance can affect cryptocurrency transactions and what future regulations might look like, including SUEX Binance
