Events similar with SCAN 2024 provide a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and capacity building, equipping the specialists with the skills they need to address emerging threats like cryptocurrencies.
This event has shown the need for continuous training for law enforcement for understanding how technology works and exploring new avenues in using it in investigating cybercrime. INTERPOL, together with the GLACY-e project, will continue supporting the member countries in developing their capacities and framing effective responses to criminal proceeds in digital assets.
