Security Awareness Training: “Admissibility of Electronic Evidence in Security: Computer Crime

OUR SPEAKER
Maksym Litvinov, PhD, is a cybersecurity expert with a 25-year advanced
career in law enforcement. At the police stage of his career, Maksym used
the experience of fighting economic crime and crimes related to human
trafficking, bringing together colleagues from various police structures in
the first independent unit in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to combat
cybercrime. The success of the unit under his leadership was repeatedly
noted not only in Ukraine, but also abroad (effective international special
operations, the implementation of the Convention on Cybercrime, the
creation of a national contact point 24/7).
The first Situational Center in Ukraine for ensuring the cybersecurity of
critical infrastructure and government organizations was formed under the
leadership of Maksym during the period of mass APT attacks (2015-2017),
which became a real challenge for the Ukrainian big business. His
understanding of the strategic directions of the development of the national
cybersecurity system, forms and methods of public-private partnership
allowed him to create in a short time a team of professionals capable of
countering intelligence and organized hacker groups and mitigating cyber
risks for business.
Maksym's key competencies include the ability to combine the innovative
capabilities of modern technologies and the conservative requirements of
law; analytics and forecasting, considering strategic, operational, and
tactical risks; the ability to integrate applied knowledge from the fields of
economics, law and IT into specific business tasks related to cybersecurity
audits, sensitive investigations, and the introduction of means and rational
cyber defense measures.
PhD in Law with a degree in digital evidence and computer crime detection
techniques.
