Webinar on extracting data from mobiles and the cloud: leading experts debating on the EU approach

BRUSSELS - May 17, 2021 - PRLog -- On Wednesday 19 May 2021, from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm Brussels time, PrivacyRules has organized a live webinar about extracting data from mobile phones and the cloud in the area of law enforcement, organized in the context of the FORMOBILE Project.

Core theme of the event

In the ever more digitalized society the importance of information stored in the cloud increases. While this has become part of day-to-day business relations and personal communication, accessibility to cloud services is likewise exploited by cyber-criminals. To contrast such exploitation, law enforcement authorities have different methods to access clud-based information.

Yet accessing such information is complex since it passes through various investigative and judicial steps: national legislation, existing Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, the CoE Budapest Convention, the European Investigation Order, EU Directives dealing with cross-border cooperation in criminal matters, norms on e-communications, personal data protection legislation and e-privacy rules, as well as the European Convention for Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Join this top-level panel of multi-disciplinary experts for a condensed view of EU member states' approach to this complexity, through a dynamic panel discussion.

In this FREE webinar distinguished experts will share their experiences from various countries and backgrounds

Two moderators, lawyer Pieter Gryffroy from the law firm Timelex (Belgium – member of PrivacyRules) and the Project partner Denitsa Kozhuharova from the Law and Internet Foundation (Bulgaria), will be moderating the expert discussion based on the FORMOBILE findings in the area of mobile evidence extraction and sharing. Panellists will be:

• Martijn Egbert, Senior Public Prosecutor for Cybercrime of the Netherlands, will elaborate on the legal grounds to access E-evidence and tools for prosecutors and law enforcement to obtain information available on mobile phones and the cloud.
• Krešimir Kamber, Lawyer at the European Court of Human Rights, will focus on the collection and use of electronic evidence in criminal proceedings from the perspective of the Convention and its application at the Court.
• Mike Dickinson, Chief Business Development Officer at MSAB which is an official partner of the Project, will focus on lawful powers and technical competency in the recovery of digital evidence from mobile devices (also stored in the cloud).
