By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Deploy dynamic Managed Attribution strategies using cloud-based, disposable infrastructure.
- Identify OSINT opportunities on Telegram by de-anonymising users and using tools to analyse user activity.
- Preserve electronic evidence to produce court-ready OSINT products (using digital hashing, timestamping, and link analysis).
EMPACT training activity

Combatting new forms of organised crime requires more cooperation between police and gendarmes, customs officers, border guards, judges, and prosecutors. EU institutions, agencies and Member States work together to tackle organised and serious international crime through a permanent and key instrument: the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).
CEPOL plays a crucial role in the EMPACT mechanism through the provision of specialised training and the identification of training needs within each common security threat. Every year, CEPOL provides a comprehensive training package for each common EU crime priority consisting of onsite, online and exchange training activities.
