10 years of unique collaboration on (cyber)crime: The Joint cyber action Taskforce (J-CAT)

Track:
Law Enforcement
Session complexity:
Time:
13:35 - 14:00

It may sound obvious that Law enforcement agencies work together, yet in practice this is a complex puzzle of cultures, bureaucracies, and legal frameworks. Having Law Enforcement Officers of different countries sitting next to each other on a day-to-day basis, discussing these issues within their hands-on operations, creates a basis for trust and effective follow-ups. Over the past years, Europol’s EC3 has been facilitating and supporting such a ground breaking alliance. The Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) has been coordinating a whole series of high-profile cases, sharing information with different public and private organizations and as an outcome, disrupting various cybercriminal enterprises. The J-CAT is THE go-to if coordination is needed in cross-border cyber operations. We would like to take you through our journey and show how you, the cybersecurity community, can help.
