The new methods used by cybercriminals evolved to a degree that tends to be higher than the ones law enforcement stand. The global scale of WannaCry and NotPetya attacks of mid-2017 proved to be a real challenge for national law enforcement agencies to handle alone malware attacks of such level. And with the mobile banking catching up with the online banking, ransomware and other types of mobile malware will continue to extend.

To overrun this trend, enhanced cooperation between law enforcement agencies as well as solid practical knowledge needs to be ensured. In this context, the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe in the framework of the Joint Project of the European Union and the Council of Europe - iPROCEEDS, in cooperation with the Department of Cybercrime of Turkish National Police, is delivering the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group’s (ECTEG) Malware Investigation Training Course, from 15 to 19 October 2018 in Ankara, Turkey.

During one week, 12 participants from Turkey and Kosovo*, will learn practical analysis techniques of how to create and deploy malware, identify infected machines, apply the malware analysis to a malware sample, document malware analysis process for evidential purposes, use OSINT techniques to identify criminals and enumerate their infrastructure, etc.
