An overview of key conferences, webinars and other events with the participation of the Kept Forensic team.
During their presentations, Kept experts discussed the analysis of equipment defects — including technological due diligence — as well as the procedure for calculating the volume of the actually used advance payment.
A Kept expert explained how malicious actors used HUMINT and open-source intelligence for targeted cyber attacks against company employees.
Current cyber attacks are increasingly aimed not at the IT infrastructure, but at specific people through social engineering – and it is publicly available data on employees that make these attacks possible.
Practical takeaway: personal cyber hygiene of employees and distinction between personal and corporate environment is more effective protection than total technical prohibitions.
The presentation was addressed to retail security specialists and focused on current challenges in foreign supplier due diligence amid the reorientation of supply chains towards Turkiye, China, India, and Middle Eastern countries.
Standard approaches to counterparty due diligence are no longer effective: global corporate data providers have exited the Russian market, access to foreign registries is restricted, and sanction risks now require verification not only of suppliers but also of payment agents.
The key practical focus is that it is not automation that gives good results, but deep manual analytics using OSINT and local sources.
The presentation covered the methodology for foreign counterparty due diligence in the new geopolitical landscape: reorientation of supplies, sanctions restrictions, and closure of access to international databases.
Key message: foreign partner due diligence has become fundamentally more complex and demands a systematic approach — ranging from establishing corporate policies to investing in language competencies and building a network of local experts in key jurisdictions.
Practical takeaway: security services need to build a three-tiered system of work — policies that work, accessible sources of information and trained specialists who can apply all of the above.
A Kept representative spoke about actual damage assessment in expert reports. He discussed the evolution of the role of expert opinions and the challenge of striking a balance between objectivity and advocating for client interests in expert reports.
A Kept expert spoke about cyber hygiene in terms of corporate intelligence. The presentation highlighted the shift in modern cyberattacks from technical breaches to targeted attacks against employees, leveraging HUMINT and open-source intelligence.
Key message: hackers consistently collect the digital footprint of employees — through Telegram bots, personal data leaks, social networks and recruiting platforms — and use this data for convincing phishing attacks with a deep context.
Key practical takeaway: fostering a culture of cyber hygiene within the organization (through training, checklists, and the segregation of personal and work environments) is more effective and cost-efficient than attempting total technical control.
The presentation was devoted to practical aspects of protecting the company from modern cyber threats, in which the human factor is the main point of vulnerability.
Key message: over 39 million personal data records leaked in Russia during the first half of 2025, and this data is being actively leveraged for targeted attacks through deepfakes, fake profiles, and social engineering — threats that classical antivirus solutions cannot mitigate.
The key focus is that fines for data breaches can reach RUB 500 million or 3% of revenue, making investments in staff training economically justified.
The presentation was tailored to anti-phishing specialists and explored the use of HUMINT in modern attacks, detailing how threat actors 'reconnoiter' victims prior to an attack, employing the same methodologies as corporate intelligence officers.
Key message: phishing has ceased to be a mass mailing — today it is a four-stage targeted process involving the study of the target, the preparation of a legend, the creation of fake infrastructure and an active attack using the real context of the victim’s life and work.
Practical takeaway: protection begins with minimizing the digital footprint of employees and training them to verify suspicious requests.
The presentation was addressed to heads of security services and focused on two critical issues: how to justify the value of the Security Department amidst budgetary pressures, and how to properly assess the potential of AI for optimizing security functions.
Key message: the AI market in economic security in Russia is still relatively dormant compared to the cybersecurity sector, but international case studies confirm its tangible effectiveness. The question is no longer “whether to implement it,” but rather “how to choose the right direction and avoid falling for marketing hype”.
Practical takeaway for the ICSA audience: “how to implement AI yourself, rather than having it implemented instead of you?”
A Kept expert moderated a session on artificial intelligence in compliance. Key topics included compliance practices of AI leaders, regulatory approaches (addressing legislative gaps, needs for legal regulation, and the development of internal corporate policies), and compliance risk management in the AI sector.
