Prodefence at the Regional Conference of Intelligence Analysts – Addressing Financial Fraud and Disinformation in the Age of AI
Information analysis in criminal investigations remains a cornerstone of modern law enforcement, enabling authorities to connect fragmented data points into actionable intelligence. Whether dealing with cybercrime, homicides, robberies, or financial fraud, this discipline plays a pivotal role in identifying suspects, understanding criminal patterns, and ensuring operational efficiency.
In this context, Alexandru Anghelus, CEO of Prodefence and a leading cybersecurity expert, had the honor of participating in the Regional Conference of Intelligence Analysts, held in Iași and organized by the Territorial Intelligence Analysis Unit, in partnership with the Romanian General Police Inspectorate and the Central Intelligence Analysis Unit.
A Strategic Perspective on Cybercrime and Disinformation
During the conference, Mr. Anghelus delivered a keynote presentation on:
“Financial Fraud – Fake Cryptocurrency Trading Platforms and Fake News – The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Disseminating False Information.”
This session explored:
- How fraudulent platforms operate to deceive users in the cryptocurrency ecosystem;
- The techniques used to spread disinformation, especially through digital channels;
- The dual role of artificial intelligence—both as a tool used by threat actors and as a defense mechanism in combating fake news and financial scams.
The presentation emphasized the growing convergence between cybercrime and traditional criminal activities, underscoring the need for enhanced capabilities in both digital forensics and intelligence analysis.
