Cybercrime Training Competences Framework

Cyber Expert

Actor Description

This category includes professionals involved as tactical law enforcement representatives in cyber-attacks that cooperate with other actors (cyber security agency, CSIRT, related IT departments and management) in initiating coercive technical countermeasures, as well as acquiring, preserving, analysing and documenting complex (digital) traces and electronic evidence.

Their actions guarantee quality and efficiency in the response to cyber-attacks with a view to facilitating investigation and prosecution, including international judicial cooperation from first response to the presentation in front of judicial courts.

As cyber-crime experts, they have a need to keep their competences up-to-date by exchanging experience, lessons learned and expertise with peers at the national and international level. They advise the authorities on potential threats and contribute to prevention.
