The e-Crime Wales partnership is working with Police forces across Wales and the UK to tackle e-Crime and protect businesses and citizens in Wales. This work includes working to improve the knowledge and understanding of e-Crime within the Police.

The National Policing Improvement Agency has been tasked on behalf of the Association of Chief Police Officers to investigate the current challenges facing individuals within Police forces with cybercrime and technology enabled crime and thus, the potential learning that may be required.

To determine these requirements they are conducting a needs analysis with force representatives; also with officers and staff who may experience (or have experienced) criminal activity and report incidents to the Police. In addition they are seeking to establish what crime prevention advice and guidance has been received from Police and what would be the areas to develop in order to help support the needs of businesses.

In order to protect identities the questionnaires are structured so that all responses are anonymous with no identifying marks used.

To access the questionnaire please click on the link below. If the link does not work automatically on your computer, please cut and paste into the address block in your internet browser. The questionnaire should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.

Once the questionnaire has been completed click the 'DONE' button and it will be collated in a central location ready for analysing.

Thank you for taking the time to help us and the Police to improve our response to e-Crime.

Many thanks,

The e-Crime Wales team

During the 2011 e-Crime Wales Summit we spoke with a few of the companies exhibiting their products and services.

You can view a list of all Companies who exhibited - along with links to their websites - over on the e-Crime Wales website.

Prior to the 2011 e-Crime Wales Summit, Cassidian delivered a presentation to forensic computing students at the University of Wales, Newport.

To get a better idea of the new career opportunities in e-Crime prevention, we spoke with Cassidian, the University of Wales, Newport and a recent graduate of one of their courses.

Thanks again to Cassidian for being one of our 2011 Summit Sponsors.

Here's the last in our short series of videos where we asked Welsh SMEs about their approach to using Social Media in their business, managing their profile and lessons they've learned along the way.

In this segment we hear from Neil Cocker - Managing Director of Dizzyjam and co-organiser of Ignite Cardiff and TEDxCardiff.

You can watch the other videos in this short series here on this Blog or over on our Vimeo and YouTube channels.

Many thanks to all the companies who took the time to share their views with us.

Another fantastic Summit is over!

We'd like to thank all our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, partners and delegates for making the e-Crime Wales Summit, yet again, a highly informative and productive event in the Wales Business calendar.

Our reliable MC Jamie Owen

Firstly, without financial support from our Sponsors these annual events wouldn't be realised to the standard we think this increasingly important topic deserves. We'd like to extend a big thank you (again) to Logicalis, Cassidian and Spectrum Internet. All three are actively working to transform safe and efficient online services in Wales across multiple sectors.

The exhibition space has steadily grown in size and scope over the last several years and continues to offer delegates and exhibitors alike a valuable networking and, we hope, business opportunity focussed on e-Security. This is unique in Wales and the South West. We thank all this year's exhibiting companies for their support and enthusiasm and in making this a worthwhile part of the e-Crime Wales Summit experience.

Securing expert Speakers on e-Crime, Trust and Security is challenging. Attempting it on an annual basis with different Global organisations is truly challenging! But we're delighted, and just a little proud, that the e-Crime Wales brand continues to open doors for us and facilitate access to great people. We thank them all.

A few of our great guest Speakers at the 2011 e-Crime Wales Summit

We thank all the delegates who came along to the impressive Cardiff City Stadium and those who joined us online by following the live video stream, Blog and Twitter feed. Finally, big thanks to our event team - internal and external - who put in long hours to create the impressive conference and exhibition spaces and ensure smooth running on the Summit day.

We look forward to taking your feedback and comments to shape a future Digital Wales where business and communities can go online more productive, vigiliant and enthused. Visit our website, Blog and follow us on Twitter for the latest news and developments across Wales on Trust & Security online.

In the run-up to our e-Safety in Education event today and main Summit tomorrow, we thought our delegates and online audience would find the themes and discussions from today's Conference on Cyberspace of interest. The live video stream below is provided by the Conference organisers.

You can find out more on the Agenda and speakers over on the event website.

Don't forget to use #ecrime11 in Twitter discussions over the next few days.

Here's the next in our short series of videos where we asked Welsh SMEs about their approach to using Social Media in their business, managing their profile and lessons they've learned along the way.

In this segment we hear from Sangeet Bhullar, Executive Director of WISE KIDS.

WISE KIDS will also be delivering a FREE e-Safety in Education awareness-raising session for educators, local authority staff and youth workers the day prior to the main e-Crime Wales 2011 Summit on 2nd November. Click here for more details.

Registration for the 2011 Summit has now closed, but you can watch the live video stream on the day via our website. You can also join in the discussion and give your views or questions on emerging topics by following our live Blog and using #ecrime11 on Twitter.

To support our recent short series of 'My Approach to Trust and Security Online' videos, we spoke with a number of additional companies in Wales who actively use various Social Media platforms to communicate with customers and promote their business.

This longer video digs a little deeper into lessons they've learned along the way - and offers some useful advice for others considering Social Media as a communications tool for employees and executives.
