Background
The level of expertise covered during the meet-ups will vary from basic to advanced methodologies or insights. In general, the meet-ups will feature: (a) announcements and updates; (b) presenting relevant strategic insights; (c) demonstration of features and investigative techniques; (d) sharing of experience by expert users, and (e) Q&A.
Expert users are invited to share their inventive ways of using Dark Web Monitor at meet-ups by registering their interest beforehand via the Support Desk. We are keen to identify new methods and document them in our Academy, so that we can all become smarter together.
The meet-ups are open only to vetted and approved CFLW members and conducted using Microsoft Teams webinars. This platform ensures that your contact details are kept confidential.
