What It Is

CyberCrimeCon 2021 was a global virtual cybersecurity conference positioned as a “Global threat hunting & intelligence conference.” It was presented on Group-IB-related pages and focused on cybercrime, threat hunting, threat intelligence, forensic investigations, and law-enforcement collaboration. The captured text indicates that the conference was held online on December 2, 2021, with separate time-zone sessions for Europe, APAC, MEA, and North America. Figures from 2020 show that the event previously had 3,500+ participants, 17 speakers, and 10+ hours of hands-on content.

Core Content and Speakers

Judging from the agenda, this was not a step-by-step beginner course, but a specialist conference aimed at industry professionals. Topics included high-tech crime trends, zero trust, joint efforts against online fraud, the EvilCorp investigation, the sale of network access, changes in ransomware, crackdowns on banking-fraud groups, APT Cobalt Strike, and analysis of APT41 activity. The speaker lineup was strong, covering security companies as well as law-enforcement and research organizations such as Group-IB, INTERPOL, Europol/EC3, SentinelOne, IstroSec, and CyberSOC Africa. It is a good fit for those who want exposure to frontline case studies.

Pricing and Delivery

The text only shows “Registration is closed” and does not disclose ticket pricing, payment methods, whether free replays were available, certificates, or rules for downloading learning materials. The teaching/conference language is also not clearly stated in the main text. Delivery was in the form of a virtual conference, and the agenda includes entry points for materials such as Presentation and Video, but whether these are still accessible cannot be confirmed from the text alone.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is that the topics are tightly focused on real cybercrime scenarios, covering high-value themes relevant to CISOs, SOC teams, threat intelligence teams, incident responders, and forensic investigators. Participation from international law-enforcement bodies and security-vendor experts also gives it a high information density and a strong industry perspective. The downsides are that it is more of a one-off industry conference than a structured course; it is not very beginner-friendly; the captured content dates back to 2021, so timeliness is limited; and pricing, certificates, learning support, and current registration status are all unclear.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to CISOs, CIOs, threat hunters, TI analysts, SOC specialists, incident responders, investigators, and penetration testers who already have a cybersecurity foundation and want to understand crime trends and real-world cases. It is not ideal as a cybersecurity introduction for complete beginners. The main text does not provide information on access from mainland China; domain connectivity and video availability would need to be tested in practice, so this is currently marked as unknown.
