White Hat Conference

The Third Annual  White Hat Conference is an effort to bring disruptive change to cybercrime investigation, exploring innovative techniques and global measures to bring about effective criminal justice policies and establish preventive measures—leading to more efficient investigations and successful prosecutions.

Focusing on the “Evolution of Illicit Crypto Use,” the 2022 White Hat Conference will serve to enhance current capacities of higher education to better serve students of cybersecurity, computer forensics,  and digital evidence, leading to improved cybercrime investigations and successful prosecutions. Over the two days of morning and afternoon sessions,  subject matter experts will share their expertise on emerging technologies,  laws, and policies—while highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement.  Furthermore, the conference will host a job fair to assist students with internship opportunities within the areas of computer forensics and digital evidence. This will help establish a corroborative approach that can further promote the development and implementation of internship/co-op programs.

Hosted by Boston University's Metropolitan College (MET) Criminal Justice  Graduate Programs in collaboration with Utica College and the Center for  Cybercrime Investigation & Cybersecurity, the 2022 White Hat Conference is made possible by a grant from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Bureau of  Justice Assistance (BJA).

We look forward to collaborating with you on innovative solutions to cybercrime issues.
