The Cybercrime@EaP 2018 project, implemented by the Council of Europe with funding of the European Union, supports participation of law enforcement and CSIRT/CERT officers from EaP countries at regional exercises organized in the framework of the Regional Cyber Week & Expo 2018 in Chisinau, Moldova (29 October – 2 November 2018).
The Cyber Week Moldova is an annual event bringing together state authorities, civil society and the private sector of Moldova on multitude of issues, including cybersecurity, cybercrime and protection of children. For several consecutive years more than 250 regional and foreign cybersecurity experts, sponsors and speakers participated in Cyber Week activities. It is thus an opportunity for the project to contribute to the Cyber Week with items of interest and relevance to the project, such as cybercrime/cybersecurity strategies, protection of children, public/private cooperation and cooperation between law enforcement and cybersecurity actors.
The 2nd Regional Cyber Drill, organized in cooperation with FIRST during the Cyber Week, is an outstanding opportunity for the project to increase the skills of cooperation between law enforcement officers working on cybercrime and CSIRT/CERT members working on cybersecurity on a number of issues, such as incident handling, malware analysis and protection of critical infrastructure.
