Horizon scanning: The evolving threat environment

Panel session to establish upcoming threats towards public safety and cyberspace as well as research and innovation agenda’s to combat crime and terrorism.

The session will focus on risks and opportunities in emerging technology and correlation between technology and crime (duality).

Augmented security: Real policing facing the Minority Report fantasy

20 MIN/Virtuous AI : The AI will offer an automated processing of heterogeneous data extracted from various sensors: surveillance cameras, drones, satellites, connected objects, or social networks. The AI can thus be used by homeland security departments and law enforcement forces as tools to prevent, detect and investigate criminal activities in the near future.

20 MIN/Malicious AI : In the meanwhile, the rise of these cognitive technologies creates new security risks when used for malicious purposes by criminal organizations, who would be able to determine the fragility of an individual, an infrastructure or a society and take advantage from it.

20 MIN/Legal Framework : The application of AI will certainly enhance the law enforcement capabilities but it will also raise fresh questions about the delicate balance between privacy and security. Ethics and the adapted legal framework have to be considered especially in the automatic processing of personal data.

This top session will expose the point of view of leaders of AI/BIG DATA/IOT on the forthcoming development of these technologies and how it can help to protect our societies and also be respectful privacy and security of individuals. Their approach can be balanced by academic, government and law enforcement approaches. Forum TAC 2018 – Lyon 17-18 septembre 2018 Draft Programme – GL events

Keeping our cities safe: Securing global and smarter cities

The evolution in digital and cognitive technologies will improve anticipation capacities, situational awareness and more accurate data analysis during police investigations. How do local authorities, law enforcement and private stakeholders make use of technology to prevent, detect, investigate and react to threats? Considering the acceleration of available technologies, what are the challenges for an effective use of police resources and a better coordination between the stakeholders of public safety for a better crisis prevention and management?

Protecting sensitive and critical infrastructures

In a constantly evolving threat environment, companies must implement an intelligent complementarity of active and passive strategies to ensure the protection of their sensitive facilities. In order to fulfill their protection mission, safety and security managers of sensitive have to consider new technologies enabling them to anticipate, protect, analyze and intervene on all types of threats.

In addition, many companies and equipments are vital components of a nation’s “critical infrastructure.” Official authorities and companies have to develop collaborations in order to protect the services essential to a nation. Threats to a company’s information systems and assets could come from anywhere. “Whether the incident comes as a direct physical attack or an electronic one. Facing a borderless threats, public and private stakeholders have to develop new cooperations involving government agencies and international organizations.

The safety of public and non-public sensitive facilities such as airports, railway stations, museums, prisons, embassies, stadiums, industrial sites (refineries, extraction sites, nuclear power stations, production sites) or major public events (Olympic Games, sporting events, large public and religious gatherings) must analyzed and anticipated. Many criterias are envolved in the planification process such as technology, compliance and legal framework, environment…

Fighting illicit trade: How to address the dark market

Panel Session – 90min.

Underground economy is a healthy business ! The smuggling and counterfeiting of many products make it possible for criminal or even terrorist organizations to prosper. These traffics are not limited to narcotics but most often relate to consumer goods such as medicine drugs, luxury goods, cigarettes, alcohol or branded clothing.
