Aim: The aim of the study is to present the role and activities of Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in combating cybercrime, with a particular focus on the latest technological solutions and cooperation mechanisms.
Methodology: The research involved analysing the strategies and tools employed by the EC3. Data collection and analysis utilised Europol’s internal reports, publicly available sources, and case studies to provide a comprehensive overview of EC3’s activities and effectiveness.
Findings: The EC3 plays a crucial role in the fight against cybercrime, particularly in dealing with transnational criminal organisations and advanced cyber threats. The EC3 is divided into three main divisions: the operational unit, the digital support unit, and the expertise unit. The operational unit maintains four permanent analytical projects, each focusing on different areas of cybercrime.
Value: The study provides valuable insights into the functioning of the EC3 and its contributions to the global fight against cybercrime. It highlights Europol’s effective cooperation model, which aids in international collaboration against cyber threats. EC3’s activities significantly enhance information sharing and operational cooperation among member states, thereby increasing the effectiveness of defences against cybercrime.
