Cybercrime and cyber-related crime

Cybercrime and cyber-related crimes are growing and the illicit methods used to carry out this type of crime are becoming more sophisticated. The rapidly increasing digitalisation of society and the economy, as well as the emergence of technologies such as blockchain, the Internet of Things and the increased use of Artificial Intelligence, create new vulnerabilities that call for the strengthening of law enforcement officials’ digital skills.

CEPOL contributes to developing skills and knowledge on cybercrime and cyber-related illicit activities through its Cybercrime Academy, a specialised training centre in Budapest regularly hosting law enforcement officials from across the EU.
