Webinar Announcement:

We are excited to kick off our partnership with a webinar focused on the Middle East region. The dark web presents a significant challenge to law enforcement and investigation teams in the Middle East, Asia, and globally – from the sale of drugs and child exploitation materials to more nefarious activities on dark web marketplaces. Criminals use networks like Tor and I2P to remain anonymous and operate under aliases, evading police detection. This makes it more challenging for criminal investigators to gather evidence that will hold up in a court of law – but not impossible.

In this criminal investigation webinar, we will demonstrate how automated dark web technology is simplifying the work of both technical and non-technical investigators, and provide an overview of how to conduct complex investigations and bring high-risk criminals to justice.

The webinar will take place on August 21, 2024 at 11AM GST. Register for the webinar here.
