“Partnering with Crystal is immensely beneficial to this educational program. Data and case studies that Crystal supplies represent great learning opportunities for our students. Combating financial crime is a tough job, and we can all benefit by learning from the wealth of resources Crystal can provide,” said Assistant Professor Mohammad Shadi Alhakeem on behalf of NAUSS.
Nick Smart, Crystal’s Director of Blockchain Intelligence, said, “We provided a live case scenario and demonstrated how to truly harness the power of blockchain analytics tools by examining an illicit market using blockchain investigations tools and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) examples. We achieved significant success and have planned further collaborations for the coming academic year.”
NAUSS offers graduate studies, research, and training programs in security fields and relevant areas. The university campus is in Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
