Under the framework of the CyberSouth Project, on the 1st of October 2020, an online workshop on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) was held for the benefit of Lebanese representatives that deal with cybercrime and e-evidence.
The goal was to present the outcome of the assessment conducted on the Lebanese legal framework for handling e-evidence and introduce the benefits, general principles and structure of SOPs on e-evidence. Representatives from the Police Academy and the Internal Security Forces (ISF) and their Computer Forensic Laboratories took part in the event.
This activity helped the Lebanese stakeholders to widen their understanding on the benefit of having domestic SOPs in line with international standards and of showcasing legislative tools and procedures for conducting cybercrime investigations and e-evidence collection. Lastly, the participants had the chance to ask for recommendations on framing and creating the domestic SOPs. A national working group will be set up, and follow-up meetings will be organized by the CyberSouth project for advising the Lebanese authorities in the process of creation of the domestic SOPs.
