In this interview, Nick Pailthorpe from Kodex joins Policing TV to discuss the scale of modern cybercrime and what is being done to respond. Drawing on fresh insights from the UK Trust and Safety Summit, he explains how trust and safety teams, tech platforms and law enforcement are increasingly working together as cyber threats, online fraud and cross-border investigations continue to grow.
The conversation also focuses on the upcoming EU e-evidence legislation and why it could significantly change how police and service providers access electronic evidence. Nick sets out what the new rules mean, why they matter to both UK policing and companies with an EU presence, and how platforms like Kodex are preparing to help organisations respond faster and more effectively.
