Commenting on the event, Major General Ahmed Nasser Al Raisi, Director General of Central Operations at the Abu Dhabi Police said: “Taking part in organizing this conference comes in implementation of the instructions of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, to focus on ways of prevention from crimes and maintaining public security and safety among citizens and residents in the UAE. This is in line with the UAE Vision 2021 and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 that aim to implement e-Government concepts to make the Abu Dhabi government one of the best five e-governments in the world.”
Al Raisi added: “Our efforts in organizing this event help develop our current strategic partnerships with our major partners, in order to face the increasing challenges of such crimes. These partnerships will also help enrich communication and dialogue among legislators, law enforcement professionals, policemen and security professionals and technicians, whose disciplines involve them in fighting cyber-crimes.”
For his part, Counselor Dr. Mohammed Mahmoud Al Kamali, Director-General of the Institute of Judicial Training and Studies, said: “Our era is different from any other era due to the exciting developments in technology and information. This is reflected in all aspects of life, as increasing technological developments are impacting all areas of our daily lives, bringing humanity into a new era. Like all eras throughout history, each development in the tools and means we use is accompanied with a change in concepts and human behavior patterns. Human society has witnessed accelerating technological development that has formed a true wealth for nations and people. These societies have become an integral part of the world of knowledge and information that has entered into our daily lives. Furthermore, crime is a social phenomenon that reflects the reality of society and interacts with its developments, thus represents challenges that require us to develop effective legislations and laws. This conference will host an elite group of distinguished local, Arab and International lecturers.”
Al Kamali added: “The previous four conferences always resulted in recommendations to: promote cooperation between the public and private sectors; exchange knowledge on cyber-crimes; make laws to arrest cyber offenders; qualify specialized judicial staff; stress the importance of educational and academic institutions integrating cyber-crime subjects within their curriculums; stress the importance of families; emphasize the importance of religious, social, media, and sports institutions as well as public benefit organizations in making more efforts to raise awareness on the gravity of cyber-crimes and means of prevention; and consolidate local, federal, regional and international efforts to face organized crimes and cyber-crimes. Many of these recommendations were adopted and had an impact on the society.”
Lieutenant Colonel Faisal Mohammed Al Shammari, Information Security Officer, and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the conference, said: “The conference will address legal, security and technical aspects of cyber-crimes. It will also see: the exchange of scientific and technological expertise and knowledge related to information security; raise awareness on information security; and spread the cyber-security culture in many fields, including critical installations and geographic information systems (GIS). The conference will urge both government and private sectors to review the best experiences in cyber-crime fighting and develop coding strategies.”
Al Shammari added: “The conference will discuss a number of papers presented by experts and specialists in cyber-crimes from inside and outside the UAE. Experts will review and discuss a number of important topics on the first day, including the information security challenges such as the coding strategy and transnational cyber-crimes, in addition to the IT strategy, geographical IT security challenges, ID online management and ID and access management. These topics will cover current and future trends. During the second day, experts will discuss important topics including police pursuits; online safety including online child protection; international cooperation; the digital gap between generations and parental control; supervisory control and data acquisition; challenges that face Coalition for Networked Information; latest incidents in the oil and gas industry; mobile phone security; online communication management; health; and privacy.”
