Strategy for Cybercrime

A new strategy for fighting cyber crime has been released by the Office for Cyber Security.

The strategy outlines five primary objectives as follows:

Co-ordination to tackle cyber crime across Government - A need for improvement upon existing efforts of fighting cyber crime in general.

Provision of an effective law enforcement response - Enhancing operating and intelligence facilities for all law enforcement responding to cyber crime is also a priority. The development aims to be achieved through the use of 'accurate reporting systems'.

Raise public confidence - More work will be conducted in association with Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) and Get Safe Online.

Work with industry - It is hoped that more work with the private sector will prove beneficial.

Work internationally - A strong effort will be made to maintain and improve relationships between international law enforcement agencies. As a result, more children should be safe when online.

The strategy was published by Mr. Alan Campbell during 30th March and can be found here.
