Prof. Hamid Jahankhani gained his Ph D from the Queen Mary College, University of London. In 1999 he moved to the University of East London (UEL) to become the first Professor of Information Security and Cyber Criminology at the university in 2010. Over the last 15 years he has also been involved in developing new and innovative programmes and introducing “block mode” delivery approach at UEL, including MSc Information Security and Computer Forensics, Professional Doctorate Information Security. Jahankhani’s principal research area for a number of years has been in the field of cyber security, information security and digital forensics. In partnership with the key industrial sectors, he has examined and established several innovative research projects that are of direct relevance to the needs of UK and European information security, digital forensics industries, Critical National Infrastructure and law enforcement agencies. He has planned, proposed and managed several collaborative projects, and secured a substantial research income of up to £6m. Professor Jahankhani is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics, and International Journal of Electronic Democracy, both published by Inderscience, and general chair of the annual International Conference on Global Security, Safety and Sustainability (ICGS3). Hamid has edited and contributed to over 15 books and has over 150 conference and journal publications together with Various BBC radio interviews. Jahankhani has supervised to completion 13 Ph D and professional doctorate degree students and overseen 67 Ph D students progressing. In summer 2017 Hamid was trained as the GCHQ “cyberist” to train the next generation of cyber security experts through GCHQ Cyber First initiative. As part of his research in partnership with the key industrial sectors, Jahankhani has examined and established several innovative research projects that are of direct relevance to the needs of UK and European information security, digital forensics industries and law enforcement agencies. Most of his work in the field has been manifested in a number of ways so that it contributes significantly to the measures governments must take to protect the security of information on the Internet, the implications of cyber-crime in large corporations and individuals, threat Assessment, risk analysis and the formulation of security policies, vulnerability Assessment. Jahankhani has been leading International and National research projects in a number of areas. Together with his research team and collaborators from Kaspersky Lab and Plymouth university he developed useful profiles of cyber criminals. In the case of cybercrime as there is a rapid change of the technology, therefore, cyber criminal’s behaviour may become dynamic. This change in behaviour will require a reclassification of the typology being currently used. Essentially, cyber criminal’sbehaviour is evolving and changing overtime with experience where they learn from their actions, or from their friend’s experience, which will enhance their skills. The offender signature which is a repetitive ritualistic behaviour that the offender usually displays at every crime scene provides police an appropriate profiling tool. This will give the investigator the opportunity to understand the motivations that drives the offender to perpetrate such crime. This development has resulted in assisting the researcher in the classifying of the type of perpetrator that is being sought. His longstanding and international recognized work in his field of research has generated esteem indicators such as; Setting up and editorship of the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensic The International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensic, IJESDF is first of its kind to cover the two interlinked field/ topics of electronic security and digital forensic investigation, www.inderscience.com/ijesdf. Handbook on Electronic Security and Digital Forensics Handbook on Electronic Security and Digital Forensics is published by the World Scientific, ISBN 978-981-283-703-5. This handbook is a definitive text on the subject, 700 pages long with 33 chapters and a comprehensive glossary. Annual international conference on global security safety and sustainability, ICGS3 Jahankhani proposed and led the development of the annual international conference on global e-security now called international conference on global security safety and sustainability which is an IEEE ”Technical Co-Sponsor”. ICGS3’s proceedings are always published as a volume of Springer CCIS.  Stefan Kendzierskyj is an experienced commercial director gained in a number of leading edge technology companies, covering most industry sectors. Usually presenting at Board level, looking at strategic approaches for businesses to undertake digital transformation and to find innovative ways to reach new markets.
