Welcome
Chris Kayser is the Founder, President and CEO of Cybercrime Analytics Inc., a Calgary-based cybercrime consulting and research company. His 25+ years in the computer field, 15 years in the financial services industry, plus research and work in cybercrime investigation and cybersecurity continue to make him a sought after consultant, researcher and presenter.
As cybercrime rates continued to escalate, he observed how cybercriminals were utilizing advanced computer technology to attack individuals, organizations, and governments. Due to the lack of qualified cybercriminologists to counter the rapid rise in cybercrime, Chris commenced an intensive study program to address these issues. He earned a Master of Criminal Justice with a Subconcentration in Cybercrime Investigation and Cybersecurity, a Graduate Certificate in Cybercrime Investigation and Cybersecurity from Boston University and a member of the Honors Society of Criminal Justice – Alpha Phi Sigma.
He is an active member of CATA Alliance, the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS), American Society of Criminology (ASC), SERENE-RISC, and ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) and holds a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) certification from the Market Technicians Association. He is an editorial review board member of the CMT's Journal of Technical Analysis (JOTA).
Chris has co-authored two research papers in the field of cybercriminology, and has recently introduced a new theory - RESCAT (Required Elements of a Social Engineered Cyber Attack Theory), explaining the importance of social engineering as it relates to cybercrime. He is also an Editorial Board Member of the International Journal of Cybersecurity Intelligence and Cybercrime.
He is the author of two books - "How to Master an Online Degree – A Guide to Success" that is recommended reading for a number of university courses (published Jan/2017), and Cybercrime through Social Engeering - The New Global Crisis" (published Feb/2020).
Chris has also been involved in music for the majority of his life, having played a number of instruments, and written numerous songs. His latest release is "Dawson City Dancer" that is available on iTunes – a song he wrote during a brief trip to Dawson City, Yukon, about one of the dancers in Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall. His primary instrument is guitar, and he enjoys "jamming" with his musical friends at any opportunity.
Chris resides in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
