The story
Real experience, from both sides of the screen.
Jan Olsson has spent thirty five years in the Swedish police, the last seventeen on the front line of internet crime. He came to cybercrime the hard way, through investigations, fraud and the people who get hurt, not through theory.
As a national authority on fraud he helped found the National Fraud Centre in 2013, and now leads prevention and operational development at the National Operative Police Authority and the Swedish Cybercrime Centre. He represents Sweden inside Europol, Interpol and ENISA, and sits on the boards of ECCFI and the MRC Law Enforcement Commission.
His strength is the rare combination of deep knowledge of how criminals actually operate, and the human story of how victims are chosen. On stage he turns that into something an audience remembers.

My perspective
I do not talk about cybercrime as theory. I talk about what actually happens. How criminals think, how victims are chosen, how organisations fail, and how we stop the harm before it happens.
