Cybercriminalité

Information about common cybercrime threats and challenges can come from numerous sources, both nationally and internationally. However, without proper analysis and placement in the overall security context, such data has limited use or purpose. Therefore, analysis and sharing of information about such threats and challenges between policy makers and professional communities should lead to better coordination and common approaches between all involved partners – both from state and private sectors. Ultimately, this should contribute to what should be the ultimate common goal: ensuring safer cyberspace for all.

The Cybercrime@EAP (PGG 2018) project, implemented by the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe, is supporting this process in the Eastern Partnership by launching two parallel studies on cybercrime threats and state of cybercrime strategies in the region. Conducted as series of workshops throughout the Eastern Partnership countries in winter/spring 2018, all relevant stakeholders – criminal justice agencies, policy makers, cyber security experts and the Internet industry – are engaged in discussions moderated by international experts, to map and analyze their tasks and responsibilities, perception of threats in cyberspace, and possible strategic responses to these threats.

The sequence of national workshops on cybercrime strategies and threat assessment is held as follows:

6-8 February 2018 – Yerevan, Armenia
13-15 February 2018 – Baku, Azerbaijan
20-22 February 2018 – Tbilisi, Georgia
28 Febraury–2 March 2018 – Chisinau, Moldova
11-13 April 2018 – Kyiv, Ukraine
22-24 May 2018 – Minsk, Belarus

As a result of these activities, two studies – on Threats and Challenges of Cybercrime in the Eastern Partnership, and updated Study on Cybercrime and Cybersecurity Strategies in the Eastern Partnership region – will be produced by the Cybercrime@EAP project by the end of the year.
