The conference themed “A Collaborative Response to Criminal Innovation” aimed to bring focus on the immediate and future challenges faced by government security forces from organised crime to regional terrorism in the South East Asian region, as well as to map out existing good practices regarding a collaborative approach in tackling these fast-evolving criminal structures. The presentations included topics such as the growing drug trafficking in the region, the threat posed by militant Islamism and jihadism, returning foreign fighters, information security and information warfare and the use of ethical hackers.
