Cyprus Cybercrime Center of Excellence
The Horizon 2020 Strategy of the EU places a high priority on the fight against the prevalence of child sexual abuse material online (the most serious form of cybercrime) and the ensuring of a better Internet for children. Similarly, the ISEC call focuses on the combating of cybercrime and suggests the development of national Cybercrime Centres of Excellence for training, research and education. Building on the abovementioned needs, Cyprus has identified a big gap in its current practices in the fight against cybercrime. Judicial personnel and other private and public officials, working in areas that can have an indirect connection to the fighting of cybercrime, lack the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to effectively perform their jobs when confronted with this topic. Additionally, Cyprus also lacks the relevant infrastructures and investigation tools to conduct effective research on cybercrime. Therefore, the establishment of the Cyprus Cybercrime Centre of Excellence is deemed to be of utmost importance for the country, especially at this moment in time that the National Cyber Security Strategy has been approved and is prioritised highly in the new Government’s agenda. |
