Matt Boynton

Control Risks

Senior Partner, Response

In a world more closely connected than at any other time in history, current and future generations experience the world, and its perils, in ways far different to those of the past.  Technological evolution, with all of its benefits, also provides opportunity for criminal exploitation in ways only imagined in the past.  This presentation will examine the transition of traditional extortive crime in the virtual world and the future impact on individual globalization – the ability of a single person to shrink the world into a mobile device held in a pocket – on each of us, our families and our businesses.

Using real world examples, Control Risks Senior Partner for Confidential Crisis Response, Matt Boynton, will address a myriad of tech-enabled crimes which are now brought directly into the office, the living room and literally, into the palms of our hands and will assist us in mitigating these exposures whether we know they exist or not.
