Neal Ysart: From Scotland Yard to Manila - Building a Cross-Border Cyber Investigations Practice
From vice squads to digital forensics, one investigator’s journey reveals how cybercrime and response, has changed.
In this episode of THEOS Cybernova, host Paul Jackson sits down with Neal Ysart, a veteran investigator whose journey spans Scotland Yard, Big Four consulting, global law firms and now his own digital forensics and OSINT practice in Manila.
Neal reflects on four decades of tackling everything from vice and organized crime to cyber fraud and corporate misconduct. He shares why digital forensics is no longer optional, how AI is accelerating investment scams, and why the region needs to develop deeper cyber investigations expertise to match its growing offensive security capabilities.
They also explore the role of mentorship, the value of certifications and how his Coalition of Cyber Investigators is helping shape global investigation standards.
