Cybercrime

Representatives of law enforcement agencies and the cybersecurity community of the Republic of Azerbaijan  engaged in a training on the use of common  tools for incident/evidence handling and digital forensics, organised in the framework of CyberEast+, a joint project of the European Union and of the Council of Europe.

During the two-day activity, participants examined the Standard Operating Procedures for cooperation between Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and Law Enforcement in the Republic of Azerbaijan, which were developed in 2021 under the CyberEast project and proposed a set of amendments, in light of current cybercrime threats and trends. Discussions revolved around compatible cyber-incident/cybercrime reporting platforms, as well as tools for gathering, processing and analysing electronic evidence. Project counterparts focused on examples of effective cooperation from various countries, common taxonomies and incident response policies.

As a result of this training, a set of general principles and standards to be used by members of law enforcements and CSIRTs are being considered by Azerbaijani authorities. 

The CyberEast+ project will continue to support initiatives for trusted cooperation between cybersecurity institutions and criminal justice authorities in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
