Erin West to Deliver SANS Security Awareness Keynote

A leading expert in combating transnational organized crime and the founder of Operation Shamrock, Erin West will deliver the SANS Security Awareness Summit keynote.

You can attend her presentation, “Uncovering the Dark World of Nation-State Scams,” live in Chicago on Thursday, August 14 or register to watch her talk online free.

In her one-hour talk, Erin will uncover the dark world of pig butchering scams— sophisticated schemes run by global criminal networks that exploit victims through manipulation and financial deception. She will shed light on how these crimes are part of a larger international threat, exploiting gaps in law enforcement, banking, and regulatory systems.

Operation Shamrock focuses on fostering collaboration between law enforcement, financial institutions, and policymakers to disrupt these criminal enterprises and protect communities worldwide. Erin’s insights will leave you with a deeper understanding of these pervasive crimes, the systemic changes needed to combat them, and how we can all contribute to building a safer, more resilient global community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leader at the forefront of this critical fight.
