About this Event
The 2026 International White Hat Conference is themed "Cybersecurity & Digital Crime Prevention: Building Global Readiness for Mega Events."
Global mega events such as the FIFA World Cup present heightened risks related to cybersecurity threats and digitally enabled crime. These risks include cyberattacks, cryptocurrency-related financial crime, identity theft, online fraud, and technology-facilitated human trafficking—many of which are increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
The 2026 International White Hat Conference addresses the growing need for coordinated global readiness to prevent, investigate, and prosecute cybercrime and digital offenses associated with large-scale international events. The conference convenes law enforcement agencies, prosecutorial offices, cybersecurity and Al experts, cryptocurrency investigators, industry professionals, policymakers, and academic researchers from around the world.
Through evidence-based research, prosecutorial and investigative case studies, and cross-sector dialogue, the conference focuses on emerging technologies, threat intelligence, legal and regulatory frameworks, and operational strategies to strengthen cybersecurity preparedness and digital crime prevention efforts.
