• enhance the capacity of law enforcement personnel to take ethics-concerned decisions and to promote integrity with emphasis on common standards recognised at European and international level.

The aim of this activity is to improve the use of the interoperability components by raising awareness and strengthen the knowledge of law enforcement officials on the scope of interoperability, what the interoperability components are and deliver, their limits, and the fundamental rights safeguards.

The aim of the training activity is to enhance cyber-investigative work by providing knowledge and skills to capacitate law enforcement officials to perform roles tracking and analyses and to counter digital security threats in order to produce actionable intelligence.

After completion of the training activity, the participant will be able to:

• Map the cyber threats landscape;

• Outline a risk-analysis tacking in account the cyber threats picture;

• Align the cyber threats to the operational and tactical view in order to develop actionable intelligence;

• Use analytical visualisation and link tools based on the flux of information;

• Explore and integrate multiple sources of information;

• Establish and explore the networks of cyber intelligence stakeholders;

• Develop cyber intelligence reports;

• Make predictions about cybercriminal activities.

The learning process highlights a learner-centred approach and will consist of:

• Independent Learning: reviewing case studies, watching webinars, online sessions, studying reading material – 14 hours;

• Contact Learning via online forums: forum discussion with other participants, exchange of good practices – 4 hours;

• Experiential Learning: practical exercises that need to be analysed by participants – 2 hours.

The course will be held entirely in English, therefore it is essential that nominated officials possess appropriate language skills (at least B2 level). The entire activity will be carried out online hence the physical presence of participants will not be required.

The course will be delivered over a period of 2 weeks. Participants are expected to study minimum 2 hours per working day during this period in order to be able to complete the activity (in total 20 training hours). While there is no specific time slot when participants shall be available for completing the course tasks, they should follow the course continuously on a daily basis. This is important as the attendants will need to cooperate with other participants virtually and complete small tasks/assignments then share the results of these tasks between each other and debate them collectively.
