Frequently Asked Questions

What is cyber security?

Cyber security is a term used to describe the protection of electronic and computer networks, programs and data against unauthorized access. Maintaining a high standard of security is essential to protect critical systems and data against cyber-attacks. The sophistication, persistence and continuous evolution of cyber threats means organizations are finding it increasingly challenging to defend against them. This makes it essential to approach cyber security as a continuous journey, involving regular assessments and appropriate investment in people, processes and technologies to mitigate the risk.

What are cyber security services?

Cyber security services are specialized engagements designed to enable organizations to manage and mitigate the risk and impact of cyberattacks. Kroll’s cyber security services are designed to help organizations protect, detect and respond. The right mix of cyber security services, including advisory services, proactive assessments, managed detection and response, incident response and breach notification, ensures that organizations are able to defend against threats on endpoints, across the surface web and throughout the deep and dark web.

What are the 3 pillars of information security?

Infosec, or information security, forms a critical part of cyber security because it helps to protect online data from authorized access or use. The three pillars of infosec, Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability, often referred to as the CIA triad, are foundational principles for maintaining a robust level of security. Confidentiality involves checking whether your systems are protected from external, authorized access. Integrity entails ensuring that data has not been tampered with and is correct and trustworthy, while availability involves checking that networks, systems and applications are operational and ready for use when required.

Where to start with cyber security?

An effective starting point for effective cyber security is to assess your current cyber security posture. Look at which of your systems, networks and data are secure and which are vulnerable. Consider using external providers to undertake assessments such as penetration testing to gain a complete picture. Uncovering potential vulnerabilities will then allow you to start developing an effective cyber security policy and strategy. Again, expert support with this will ensure that your cyber security approach is effective and robust.

What is asset recovery?

Asset recovery involves the confiscation of illicit assets, usually the proceeds of crime, and the return of these assets to the legitimate owner(s). Assets can take the form of money or other items of value, for example real estate, precious metals, investments such as shares, virtual assets such as cryptocurrencies, race horses, luxury goods, or an aeroplane. Asset recovery can be a purely domestic process when the funds have been hidden or invested in the jurisdiction where they were illegally obtained. It can also be international, when the funds have been sent to another jurisdiction. The process of asset recovery is complex but generally covers four basic phases: pre-investigation (verification of information), investigation (often including seizing/freezing assets and international cooperation to obtain intelligence or evidence), judicial proceedings (following which the court may issue a confiscation order for the assets), and disposal or return (where the assets are returned to the rightful owner).

Why is asset recovery important in preventing and combatting corruption?

First, for its deterrent effect. People are more likely to engage in corrupt behaviour if they are confident that – even if they are caught and convicted – they and their families will still be able to enjoy their illegally obtained wealth. Recovering illicit assets helps deter corruption by turning it into a higher-risk, lower-reward activity. Second, by convicting corrupt officials and recovering stolen assets, countries can also generate funds for development and strengthen their criminal justice system. The end results are stronger rule of law, integrity and trust in government.

What support do you offer in terms of actual cases?

Our asset recovery specialists work hand-in-hand with practitioners in our partner countries to tackle complex international financial crime cases. We are currently assisting with around 100 high-stakes cases across 20 countries.

Our assistance takes the form of advice in the following fields:

  • Intelligence gathering and analysis
  • Asset tracing
  • Financial profiling
  • Investigation and prosecution strategies
  • International cooperation and mutual legal assistance

Many of our experts are embedded in partner institutions, where they can provide closer support more efficiently and build the necessary relationships and trust.

Through our technical assistance and on-the-job coaching, we not only help to advance individual asset recovery cases but also develop skills and good practices among the practitioners we work with. That often leads to long-term reform processes to give practitioners the legal and institutional frameworks necessary to operate effectively.

While assisting with asset recovery cases, we help to identify and address gaps in national laws, policies and practices. Common challenges are:

  • Poorly developed processes for building and documenting cases
  • Lack of, inadequate, contradictory or unclear legal framework
  • Weak/inefficient international networks
  • Lack of domestic inter-agency cooperation
  • Infrastructure and technology deficits
  • Insufficient security of staff, documents and communications
  • Agencies lacking autonomy

Marshall Weaver

They did a great job and had my funds recovered within a few days. Only downside is that it’s a little expensive.

Laura Stansberry

I would like to thank the people at crypto asset recovery. They worked so hard to recover my assets, over several months. I had nearly given up, but they persisted on my behalf, and they came through for me. I can't praise them enough, you can trust them with your crypto asset recovery.

Christina Douglas

They did a great job and had my account recovered within a few days. Only downside is that it’s a little expensive.

Michael

Overall excellent service They assist me in getting two of my wallets back. The team at Logan is really helpful, and I am really appreciative of their assistance. I have not used the wallets in more than four or five years, and when I returned, I essentially forgot and could not find everything. They were the only people who could have actually helped me! My life changed because of what they did; I lost everything, but now I have everything!
