During the first day of the summit, the talks are more about what the laws that were made against cybercrime and the proper authorities that have the jurisdiction in investigating and prosecuting cybercriminals. There is also a discussion about Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) and how could our country use this to prosecute cybercriminals outside our country.
The topics during the second day are more on how you can personally protect yourself, your family and your company from possible cyber attacks.
