Noel Thomas, CEO of Zero Trafficking discussed the tools and technology needed to defeat human trafficking, sextortion, retail crime, and cybercrime at the ISCPO 2023 Conference. 

Zero Trafficking is a campaign that seeks to end human trafficking by focusing on prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnerships. The campaign encourages individuals, organizations, and governments to take action to address the root causes of trafficking and to protect vulnerable populations. It also advocates for the prosecution of traffickers and the provision of support and services to survivors of trafficking.

Dark Watch, on the other hand, is a project that uses technology to combat human trafficking. The project involves the use of advanced data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to identify patterns of trafficking and to track the movement of traffickers and victims. Dark Watch also provides law enforcement with the tools they need to investigate and prosecute trafficking cases.

Together, Zero Trafficking and Dark Watch are working to end human trafficking and bring traffickers to justice. By raising awareness, providing support to survivors, and using technology to identify and track traffickers, these initiatives are making a difference in the fight against one of the most heinous crimes in the world.

As of 2023, there are an estimated 27.6 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. In the criminal world, human trafficking is a highly lucrative business. Having the capacity to sell one human 20 times per day quickly adds up to a 150 billion-dollar industry.

Noel’s Thoughts:

Hello, I’m Noel Thomas, the CEO, and founder of Dark Watch. Our primary goal is to empower companies and governments with the essential tools required to combat human trafficking, sex extortion, and cybercrime. Through our comprehensive suite of tools, we assist our partners in investigating online criminal activities, including organized retail crime, and various other crimes that take place on the internet.

We have made it incredibly simple to identify and trace these criminals by thoroughly analyzing their digital footprints, enabling law enforcement to locate and bring them to justice. Additionally, we are in the process of developing training programs that will assist corporations in implementing effective policies and strategies to combat human trafficking and sextortion.

Human trafficking is a global issue affecting an estimated 32 million people who are currently enslaved worldwide. This includes victims of sex trafficking and labor trafficking. This heinous crime generates a staggering $150 billion for cartels and organized crime syndicates. Unlike weapons or drugs that can be sold only once, victims of human trafficking can be exploited and sold up to 20 times in a single day. This high profitability makes human trafficking an attractive venture for organized criminals.

Our mission and passion lie in safeguarding our communities by providing the necessary tools to visualize and comprehend the extent of human trafficking in our midst. We equip our partners with actionable intelligence to dismantle these organized crime networks responsible for human trafficking, sextortion, and cybercrime.

We are enthusiastic about collaborating with you and grateful for the opportunity to share our dedication to this cause. Together, through initiatives like Zero Trafficking and Dark Watch, we are raising awareness, supporting survivors, and employing technology to combat one of the most despicable crimes in the world.

Scoped agents help Copilot search 10,000 SharePoint sites

Scoped agents help Copilot search 10,000 SharePoint sites

Improving Vice President of Technology Michael Slater says his firm runs more than 10,000 SharePoint sites, and generic AI queries across them are unlikely to find the right document. He says scoped agents in Copilot, Google Workspace or Glean can improve retrieval, and that bronze, silver and gold data pipelines with strong quality gates are where much of the work sits. Dataversity reports 84% of infrastructure leaders overran AI budgets.

  • 01A medium sized firm can run more than 10,000 SharePoint sites, and Slater says a generic AI question across that many sites finds the right document only by luck.
  • 02TSG, citing Gartner in a blog post, says 50% of AI projects fail to move beyond the pilot stage, often over scalability, integration and operationalization; Slater puts the hard part in the same place, cascading every source change through bronze, silver and gold.

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Power first: AI data center siting now starts at the substation

Sandeep Prakash, a senior program manager in data center infrastructure planning, said on Amphenol Broadband Solutions’ Wavelengths podcast that new data center site decisions now start with the substation and utility interconnection, with fiber and latency planned alongside. RAND estimates AI data centers could need 68 gigawatts of power by 2027 and cites four to seven year grid queues in Virginia. The IEA reports AI-focused data center electricity consumption surged 50% in 2025.

  • 01AI-focused data center electricity use rose 50% in 2025 while energy per AI task fell by an order of magnitude a year, the IEA says, and both curves belong in the same capacity plan.

Ping says mobile driver’s licenses can narrow false positives

Ping says mobile driver’s licenses can narrow false positives

Ping Identity product lead Diana Gouard tells Mitek's Fraud in Focus podcast that a bank forcing document verification on every branch visit stopped fraud but burdened tellers and customers. She recommends proving identity once, then carrying trust forward with bindings such as a confirmed email or facial biometric and using cryptographic verification (including mobile driver’s licenses and NFC passport reads) as adoption grows. She also notes NIST’s SP 800-63-4 superseded SP 800-63-3 as of August 1, 2025, and says the new version highlights cryptographic verification.

  • 01A bank that re-verified every visitor's document on every branch visit stopped fraud but pushed failure handling onto tellers; the fix now underway is enrolling a face once and using a tablet glance after that.
  • 02Identity proofing should happen once, with an email or facial biometric bound to that event carrying trust through the account lifecycle until trust is dissolved.
