Recording: Terrorist Use of Hybrid Threat Finance Networks
The webinar explores how terrorist financing is increasingly conducted through hybrid threat finance networks that combine traditional financial systems with digital assets.
Overview
This online webinar features a new Project CRAAFT (Collaboration, Research, and Analysis Against the Financing of Terrorism) research briefing, 'Terrorist Use of Hybrid Threat Finance Networks', by Jessica Davis, a CFS Associate Fellow, President and Principal Consultant with Insight Threat Intelligence, as well as President of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies, in discussion with Gonzalo Saiz, Research Fellow at CFS at RUSI.
The session explores how terrorist actors use cryptocurrencies alongside informal value transfer systems and other financial channels, highlighting examples linked to the Islamic State and its affiliates. It also examines how stronger public–private cooperation and greater international regulatory coordination could become key priorities in efforts to disrupt these financing channels.
