Combating cybercrime through cooperation focus of INTERPOL-Europol conference Identifying new threats and trends and tracking cybercriminals online to bring them to justice in the real world are among the key areas to be addressed during the 2nd INTERPOL-Europol cybercrime conference. Bringing together some 230 specialists from law enforcement, the private sector and academia from 55 countries, the three-day conference (1-3 October) which has the theme Cybercrime investigations - the full cycle, will also look at ways all involved sectors can work more closely together to maximize cooperation through their respective areas of expertise. Troels Oerting, head of Europols European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) said the joint INTERPOL-EC3 cybercrime conference sends a number of significant signals to global law enforcement, private parties and organized crime. To our partners in global law enforcement and stakeholders in industry, security and academia, this conference is a strong example of the determination of the two main international actors joining forces to prevent and prosecute cybercrime, increase capacity and enhance intelligence in order to serve our respective colleagues and citizens on the frontline, said Mr Oerting. At the same time, we send a forceful message to the cybercriminal networks that global cybercrime units all over the world have decided to find ways to overcome obstacles and exploit all possibilities to identify and track them down. Our common goal is to make life easier for law enforcement, industry and citizens, and much more difficult and risky for criminals, concluded Mr Oerting. Money laundering through online gambling, virtual currencies and digital forensics analysis are also high on the agenda of the joint conference, organized alternately by INTERPOL and Europol.
