Over the last several months, cryptocurrency has been in the news – and not for many good reasons. It's become obvious that virtual currencies like bitcoin have become the underpinning of many cybercriminal operations, including ransomware. Recently, however, the FBI scored a success by clawing back part of the ransom that Colonial Pipeline paid by tracking one of the gang's digital wallets. Crypto does have it uses and many are thinking this is the future of currency.

To help us separate the good from the bad in cryptocurrency, I'm joined by two experts: Ari Redbord and Jessie Liu. As part of this exclusive events, we'll discuss:

• The current state of cryptocurrency and cybercrime;
• A look at the FBI's new emphasis on stopping illegal crypto payments;
• And what companies need to know from both a regulatory and legal standpoint.

Tremendous technology changes in recent years have made exponential leaps in the way we will communicate, interact and transact with each other. The Internet of Things has brought about the potential for embedded low cost sensors on everything around us, on us and even in us. Blockchains and smart contracts with advances in encryption tools will provide for the immutable trust and transparency required to build the foundation of Web 3.0. The collection of all this data will provide startling context to how we behave and make decisions through Better Data Analytics. Advances in Artificial Intelligence through machine learning will change the way we interact with machines, our environment and each other forever. What does this mean to your business? In this session you can learn:

• The technology risks and security challenges to your organization
• How to protect your company against the new cyberattacks
• How these technologies impact your organization on its road to digital transformation
