The presentation will elaborate on the efforts of EC3 in strengthening the law enforcement response to cybercrime in the European Union. Currently, EC3 provides targeted and effective countermeasures in the areas of cybercrime, child sexual exploitation online and transnational payment fraud. The expertise is mainly delivered through operational, technical and forensic support, deployable on the spot or from the high-tech facilities in the Europol headquarters. Additionally, EC3 specialises in threat assessments of current threats and trends in cybercrime, as well as capacity building and training. The presentation will also provide an operational insight into addressing cyber threats, by highlighting EC3’s initiatives in the area such as the newly established Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) and the European Financial Cybercrime Coalition (EU FCC).
