text: ( ) All reports and training materials are available on the ENISA website under publications (www.enisa.europa.eu/publications) and training resources (www.enisa.europa.eu/topics/trainings-for-cybersecurityspecialists/online-training-material).

text: January 2021

text: ( ) The term ‘duties’, as used here, as well as in the SoD matrix and in other parts of the reports, is synonymous to the term ‘tasks’. 4 ( ) ‘Competency’ refers to a ‘combination of skills, knowledge, attributes and behaviours that enables an individual to perform a task’ (IAEA, n.d., p. 5) For more information on competences see also (UN, n.d., p. 6) and (OECD, 2014). 5 ( ) For a list of candidate countries and potential candidate countries see https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhoodenlargement/countries/check-current-status_en 6 ( ) For a list of neighbourhood countries see https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/economic-and-fiscalpolicy-coordination/international-economic-relations/enlargement-and-neighbouring-countries/neighbouringcountries-eu_en 7 ( ) ‘National/government (n/g) CSIRTs’ refers to teams ‘that serve a country’s government by helping to protect its critical information infrastructure. N/g CSIRTs play a key role in coordinating incident management with the relevant stakeholders at national level. They also bear responsibility for cooperation with other countries’ national and governmental teams (ENISA, n.d.d)]” (ENISA, 2019c, p. 9).

text: January 2021

text: ( ) Similarly to previous ENISA reports, law enforcement (LE), law enforcement agencies (LEAs), police and police agencies are used synonymously; see, for instance, (ENISA, 2018). 9 ( ) On the status and role of prosecutors, see (UNODC, 2014). ( ) On judges and principles to ensure their competence, independence and impartiality, see the European Charter on the Statute for Judges (Council of Europe, 1998).

text: ( ) Qualitative research is focused on explaining the reasons for people’s behaviour and understanding their opinions and options while quantitative research aims to quantify attitudes, opinions or other defined variables to generalise results from a population (Bryman & Bell, 2011). Interviewing is the most common format used for data collection in qualitative research while the questionnaire is the research instrument that is used most widely for both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

text: ( ) The ENISA NCSS Interactive Map lists all of the documents of the NCSSs in the EU, together with their strategic objectives and good examples of implementation. The map is available at https://www.enisa.europa.eu/topics/national-cyber-security-strategies/ncss-map/national-cyber-security-strategiesinteractive-map 13 ( ) ‘ENFORCE is an 18-month European project co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Internal Security Fund – Police.’ The project was concluded in May 2020. ‘The ENFORCE project aims at designing, setting-up, and disseminating a cybercrime training curriculum at the European level. This curriculum will be validated during a training exercise allowing different European public (e.g. law enforcement agencies and CSIRTs) and private actors fighting cybercrime to train together using state-of-the-art training technology. ENFORCE project is coordinated by CEIS and a partnership between CIRCL, French Ministry of Interior and CEIS’ (CIRCL.LU, n.d. a).

text: ( ) COBIT (‘Formerly known as Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT); with this iteration used only as the acronym’) is ‘a broad and comprehensive I&T governance and management framework and continues to establish itself as a generally accepted framework for I&T governance’ (ISACA, n.d.). This SoD matrix is inspired by COBIT 5 (released in 2012); however, it should be noted that there is a newer version of COBIT, COBIT 2019. ‘Earlier versions of COBIT – [including COBIT 5] – focused on IT, whereas COBIT 2019 focuses on information and technology aimed at the whole enterprise, recognizing that I&T has become crucial in the support, sustainability and growth of enterprises’. For more information see (ISACA, n.d. a).

text: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

text: The purpose of this report is to further explore and support the cooperation between computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs), in particular national and governmental (n/g) CSIRTs, and law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and their interactions with the judiciary (prosecutors and judges).

text: This report follows a number of previous reports published by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), including Tools and methodologies to support cooperation between CSIRTs and law enforcement (ENISA, 2017), Improving cooperation between CSIRTs and law enforcement: legal and organisational aspects, Cooperation between CSIRTs and Law Enforcement: interaction with the Judiciary (ENISA, 2017a), An Overview on Enhancing Technical Cooperation between CSIRTs and LE (ENISA, 2019a) and Roadmap of the cooperation between CSIRTs and LE (ENISA, 2019b).

text: This report proposes a methodology to analyse the legal and organisational framework, the roles and duties of CSIRTs, LEAs and the judiciary, and their required competences, as well as synergies and potential interferences in their activities related to their responses to cyber incidents and fight against cybercrime, respectively. In addition, this report aims to present a detailed analysis focusing on some Member States (MSs) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, namely Czechia ( ), France, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Romania and Sweden.

text: The data for this report were collected via desk research and interviews with subject-matter experts. The data collected showed, among other things, that:

text:  The communities make efforts to avoid interferences where possible and attempt to create effective partnerships and take advantage of their synergies to support each other in the fight against cybercrime; however, some interferences might occur during incident handling and cybercrime investigations.  There are examples of joint training activities, mainly involving two communities (CSIRTs and LEAs or LEAs and the judiciary, especially prosecutors) and, more rarely, involving all three communities, in particular in the form of joint exercises. These joint training activities help enhance overall the competences required to respond to cybercrime.  There has been no significant impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cooperation and interaction between the three communities and their ability to function. In some instances, interaction among the communities has increased, with even daily interactions, to ensure that each community is kept up to date. As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued, the use of online tools to facilitate meetings and events has become the norm.

text: This report, the 2020 handbook and the 2020 toolset on CSIRT and LE (law enforcement) cooperation (ENISA, 2021) are a set of deliverables complementing each other as follows:

text:  The report analyses roles, duties, competences, synergies and potential interferences across the three communities (CSIRTs, LE and judiciary).  The handbook helps a trainer explain these concepts through scenarios.  The toolset contains exercises for trainees based on these scenarios.

text: 1. INTRODUCTION

text: 1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE REPORT

text: This report follows up previous work in the area of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and law enforcement (LE) cooperation. With the view of enhancing the response to cyberattacks and supporting the fight against cybercrime, this report aims to continue to facilitate cooperation between the CSIRT and the LE communities and the extensions that this collaboration may have to other communities, especially the judiciary. The ENISA Programming Document 2020–2022 (ENISA, 2019) includes Objective 4.2 – Community building and operational cooperation. Under this objective, Output O.4.2.2 – Support the fight against cybercrime and collaboration across CSIRTs, LEA and other operational communities anticipates as one of the deliverables a report on a topic emanating from the 2019 report on cooperation between CSIRTs and LE.

text: The report presented here originates in particular from one of the recommendations of the 2019 report on cooperation between CSIRTs and LE entitled “An Overview on Enhancing Technical Cooperation between CSIRTs and LE” (ENISA, 2019a), namely:

text:  ‘To promote the use of Segregation (or separation) of Duties (SoD) matrices to avoid overlapping duties across CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary in relation to the sharing information’ (ENISA, 2019a, p. 35).

text: An overview and timeline of the previous work carried out by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in the area of CSIRT and LE cooperation is presented in the figure below ( ).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: 1.2. REPORT OBJECTIVES

text: The main objectives of this report are to:

text:  propose a methodology to analyse:

text: - the legal and organisational framework defining the roles and duties ( ) of CSIRTs, LEAs and the judiciary;

text: - the required competences ( ) of LEAs and CSIRTs, especially national and governmental CSIRTs;

text: - synergies and potential interferences in their activities related to their responses to incidents of a criminal nature and their fight against cybercrime.

text:  present, focusing on some Member States/European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, a detailed analysis of the roles and duties of CSIRTs and LEAs and required competences, showing synergies and potential interferences in their activities related to their responses to incidents of a criminal nature and their fight against cybercrime.

text: This report is meant to provide a basis for a further, more comprehensive analysis covering additional Member States and EFTA countries. The methodology proposed could be used, with some adaptation, for further analysis of candidate countries, potential candidate countries ( ) and neighbouring countries of the EU ( ), as well as other countries.

text: 1.3. REPORT SCOPE

text: The report focuses on the cooperation of national and governmental (n/g) CSIRTs ( ) with LEAs, although most of the analysis is largely applicable to CSIRTs in general (i.e. other than n/g CSIRTs).

text: No specific sector is targeted in this report; the results are applicable to the different levels of cooperation between the three communities in response to incidents of a criminal nature and in the fight against cybercrime in all sectors (from finance to energy and from transport to health).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Following the methodology presented in this report (see Chapter 3), an analysis of the roles and duties, required competences, and synergies and potential interferences has been conducted and is presented in Chapter 4.

text: The general geographical scoping of the report is limited to EU/EFTA countries. The analysis presented in Chapter 4 focuses in particular on:

text:  Czechia;  France;  Germany;  Luxembourg;  Norway;  Portugal;  Romania;  Sweden.

text: This selection of countries was based on the following criteria:

text:  geographical balance;  balance of different legal systems;  balance in terms of size (area and population) of the countries;  balance in terms of maturity of the CSIRT–LE cooperation.

text: This report does not seek to provide an exhaustive analysis; rather, it focuses on a small number of topics affecting cooperation – in particular roles and duties, synergies and possible overlaps and interferences, required competences – as might be of interest in cross-border investigations.

text: In the future, this report is likely to be followed up with an extended version covering additional countries.

text: 1.4. TARGET AUDIENCE

text: The intended target audience of this report is:

text:  CSIRTs, in particular n/g CSIRTs;  LE ( ); 9 10  the judiciary (in this report this refers both to prosecutors ( ) and to judges ( ));  individuals and organisations with an interest in cybersecurity.

text: Policymakers and lawmakers may also benefit from particular aspects of the analysis presented in this report as they prepare policies and legislation to enhance cooperation between operational communities in responding to cyberattacks and fighting cybercrime, including CSIRTs, LEAs and the judiciary, in the Member States and in jurisdictions interested in cooperating with the EU in their transition to and affirmation of the rule of law.

text: 2. DATA COLLECTION METHODS

text: This chapter describes the methods used to collect data for this report, starting with the desk research that was undertaken using publicly available sources such as legislative acts, policy reports, training programmes and other country-specific material. This is followed by a description of the interviews that were conducted, which were semi-structured and guided by a questionnaire, while allowing interviewees to discuss issues and topics pertinent to them and provide additional information. Finally, a description is provided of the SoD matrix that was used to collect additional data during the interviews to further support the research.

text: Qualitative research ( ) was conducted for this report. A combination of research methods was used to collect data for analysing CSIRT, LE and judiciary cooperation, roles and duties, required competences, synergies and potential interferences in the selected Member State/EFTA countries, in particular:

text:  desk research;  subject matter expert interviews;  SoD matrix.

text: Desk research was also conducted to develop the methodology presented in Chapter 3, which was also used to collect data for the analysis of the eight EU Member States and EFTA countries presented in Chapter 4 and proposed for expanding the analysis to other countries.

text: The cut-off date for data collection was 31 August 2020; however, some input received at the beginning of October 2020 has also been integrated in this report.

text: 2.1. DESK RESEARCH

text: Initially, desk research was conducted based on publicly available information sources such as legislative acts, policy reports, training programmes and country-specific sources, including ENISA publications.

text: The first findings from this desk research were particularly useful for:

text:  developing the methodology (presented in Chapter 3); and  drafting the questionnaire to support the interviews.

text: Additional desk research was carried out focused on specific topics considered relevant by the project team following the analysis of the data collected during the initial desk research and the interviews. For instance, some additional desk research was conducted on the role of certain national bodies or joint initiatives mentioned during the interviews.

text: Desk research was also conducted to collect information on the included countries; the main sources consulted for each country are listed in Annex A.

text: Some legal material (EU and national legal acts, but also legislation-related legal assessments, policies and legal literature) covering areas such as principles of criminal procedure,

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: comparative criminal law and procedure, and European law was consulted. No specific thorough case law research was conducted on the role of CSIRTs in supporting the fight against cybercrime; however, from the limited research undertaken, it appears that such case law is rare and/or not publicly available.

text: In addition, documents such as the Cybersecurity Strategy of the EU and specific country National Cyber Security Strategies (NCSSs) ( ) were reviewed.

text: Regarding aspects of cooperation and coordination between CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary, in addition to previous ENISA reports and projects, some reports by the European Commission, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust), the Council of Europe and Interpol were also reviewed.

text: Academic publications were reviewed focusing on aspects such as the cybersecurity culture of CSIRTs and their effectiveness, capacity building and international cooperation, as well as national criminal justice practices.

text: Several course offerings and training programmes for CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary, as well as joint training initiatives, were reviewed, including, but not limited to, those provided by:

text:  ENISA: ‘Trainings for Cybersecurity Specialists (ENISA, n.d.);  Task Force on Computer Security Incident Response Teams (TF-CSIRT): ‘TRANSITS training: High-quality training for computer security teams’ (GÉANT, n.d.);  Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST): ‘Trainings’ (FIRST, n.d.);  European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL): ‘Education and training’ (CEPOL, n.d.);  Europol European Cybercrime Centre (EC3): ‘Training and capacity building’ (Europol , n.d.);  European Judicial Training Network (EJTN, n.d.a);  Council of Europe: ‘Cybercrime Programme Office (C-PROC)’ (Council of Europe, n.d.a);  Academy of European Law (ERA) (ERA, n.d.);  ENFORCE Project ( ) (CIRCL.LU, n.d. a).

text: Examples of the course offerings and training programmes reviewed are presented in Annex B.

text: Several different sources were also consulted to collect country-specific information.

text: The main sources consulted for the drafting of this report are listed in Annex C, grouped according to the following categories:

text:  legal framework-related material;  policy reports;  ENISA reports in the area of CSIRT and LE cooperation;

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text:  training-related material;  country-specific material;  academic papers;  other material.

text: The search for policy reports took place from April to June 2020 using the following keywords: cybercrime, cybersecurity, national cybersecurity strategy, CSIRT, cybercrime legislation, criminal code, Budapest Convention, law enforcement, prosecutors, judiciary, criminal court, training, e-evidence.

text: 2.2. INTERVIEWS

text: A questionnaire was designed to collect data through semi-structured interviews with experts from the selected countries.

text: The questionnaire was developed through several rounds of internal reviews to ensure that it was appropriate and relevant. The questionnaire was piloted and following the pilot interviews a few changes, mainly editorial, were made.

text: The questionnaire was divided into the following sections:

text:  Section 1: General and organisational aspects;  Section 2: Possible synergies and potential interferences;  Section 3: Challenges;  Section 4: Competences and training;  Section 5: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;  Section 6: Certification of forensic tools.  Section 7: Any additional information and comments

text: The questionnaire consisted of 14 open questions; in one question the interviewees were asked to fill in a SoD matrix (further details on the SoD matrix are provided in section 2.3). The interviewees were given the possibility of providing additional input and comments as free text.

text: The questionnaire was sent to the interviewees before the interviews.

text: Twenty interviews were conducted. The interviewees were carefully selected to ensure that the data collected would be as consistent as possible across the different communities (CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary) and countries. One representative each from a CSIRT, LE and the judiciary from each country was identified, mostly in a top/middle management role and with a good understanding or experience of cooperation between communities within their own country and possibly across the EU.

text: The interviews took place between June and August 2020. Unless the interviewees asked for an interview in person, the interviews were conducted by telephone. Interviews lasted for approximately 1 hour. To ensure that the data collected were of the highest quality, two members of the project team – in most cases at least one ENISA expert and one Call for Expressions of Interest (CEI) subject matter expert ( ) – participated in the interviews and took detailed notes. After the interviews these detailed notes were sent to the interviewees for validation.

text: 2.3. SOD MATRIX

text: In addition to the desk research and interview questions, a SoD matrix was used to collect data. The interviewees were sent the matrix, together with the questionnaire, before the interviews.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: During the interview they were asked to identify which actor(s) in their country for each of the given duties is Responsible, Supporting (if applicable), Informed (if applicable) and Consulted (if applicable). Some interviewees preferred to fill in the matrix after the interview and send it back by email.

text: SoD is a control that is used to ensure compliance with laws and regulations; it is already well known in financial accounting systems. In particular, regulatory mandates such as the Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 (US Congress, 2002) and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA) (US Congress, 1999) introduced the concept of SoD and associated it with information technology (IT) organisation.

text: The importance of roles and duties has also been highlighted more recently in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (European Parliament and Council of the European Union, 2016a). The SoD is also presented in the ISO 27001 standard (ISO, n.d.) as one of the potential controls used for ensuring implementation and operation of information security within the organisation (control A.6.1.2 from Annex A of the ISO 27001 standard). Conflicting duties and areas of responsibilities should be segregated to reduce the risk of exposure to unauthorised or unintentional modification or misuse.

text: Thus, applying a SoD is a crucial aspect of an effective risk management strategy. In the context of CSIRT and LE cooperation, the risks that the communities may be exposed to are:

text:  reciprocal interference in the performances of duties;  duplication of efforts because of overlapping duties;  delays during a cybercrime investigation because of improper allocation of duties;

text: which could lead to:

text:  ineffective management of a cybersecurity incident and/or loss of information important for the investigation or of electronic evidence to prove the crime.

text: The SoD approach mandates a separation between actors performing different duties. Detected conflicts can be better managed as the actors, i.e. the CSIRTs, LE and judiciary, will be aware of the other communities’ duties.

text: The SoD approach for the CSIRT, LE and judiciary communities was proposed in the 2018 ENISA report Cooperation between CSIRTs and LE: interaction with the judiciary (ENISA, 2018). In 2019, this matrix was developed further and the updated version was published in the 2019 report An overview on enhancing technical cooperation between CSIRTs and LE (ENISA, 2019a) and the Roadmap on the cooperation between CSIRTs and LE (ENISA, 2019b). Indicative examples of completed SoD matrices are provided in the 2019 ENISA Training material on CSIRT and LE cooperation (ENISA, n.d.c). It should be noted that the content of this framework was validated by the Member States during the 8th ENISA/EC3 Workshop that took place in November 2019 (ENISA, n.d.n); the workshop participants provided feedback and their views have been considered in the version of the SoD matrix presented in this report.

text: The SoD matrix used to collect data for this report and proposed as a methodology to collect data on CSIRT and LE cooperation is presented in more detail in Section 3.3. This SoD matrix is inspired by COBIT ( ) methodology, in particular COBIT 5 (ISACA, n.d.), especially by the

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: ‘RACI’ charts (for more information on RACI charts, see, for instance, (Tomczack, 2014)). In COBIT 5 methodology the RACI charts are introduced to ensure the correct allocation of tasks within an organisation, with RACI denoting Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed. The use of a responsibility assignment matrix such as the RACI charts, which describe participation in different roles, allows more detailed input than the symbols that have been used in previous ENISA studies on CSIRT and LE cooperation. Although responsibility assignment matrices are offered by various frameworks, the role distinction presented in COBIT 5 seemed to better fit the needs of this project. It should be noted that the COBIT 5 framework was not implemented in this study; however, the methodology used for collecting data was inspired by its RACI charts.

text: In the SoD matrix used to collect data for this report and proposed as a methodology to collect data on CSIRT–LE cooperation, namely ‘RSCI’, the four possible roles for CSIRTs, LE, prosecutors and judges concern the performance of duties related to (supporting) cybercrimefighting activities: Responsible (R), Supporting (S) (if applicable), Consulted (C) (if applicable), and informed (I) (if applicable).

text: Figure 2 depicts the roles that can be assigned to the communities when they perform their duties, comparing them with those presented in the COBIT 5 RACI charts. The roles that were used to collect data for this project are highlighted in blue. The new role that replaced ‘accountable’ in COBIT 5 is highlighted in light blue. It should be noted that when a community is ‘responsible’ for a specific duty its representatives are also accountable when performing this duty.

text: Figure 2: RSCI method used to collect data

text: The SoD matrix has been converted to a Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) Galaxy ‘matrix’ format and made available on GitHub, together with some additional documentation ( ). For this project, a JSON file ( ) was created that can be easily converted to the data format that is supported not only by MISP but also by other sharing platforms that are accessible by both CSIRTs and LE. As mentioned in the 2019 ENISA report on technical cooperation between CSIRTs and LE (ENISA, 2019a), MISP seems to be the most popular information sharing platform used by both communities. ‘MISP Galaxy is a simple method used to express a large object called cluster that can be attached to MISP events or attributes’ (GitHub, n.d.). MISP Galaxies and Clusters can be added to MISP events and attributes for additional context and clarification. For instance, they can be used in MISP instances where LEAs/CSIRTs carry out joint threat research.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION 2.4. CONTRIBUTION BY SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS

text: ENISA selected nine external subject matter experts, of whom eight were selected from the List of Network and Information Security (NIS) Experts compiled following the ENISA CEI (ref. ENISA M-CEI-17-T01) (ENISA, n.d.m).

text: Of these nine experts, five contributed to this report by supporting data collection (interviews and desk research) and report drafting; one contributed in particular to the desk research and the development of the methodology; one acted as the editor and coordinator of the input; and two reviewed the report over several rounds, including the first draft in April 2020, the intermediate draft in June 2020 and the final draft in August 2020 (these reviews were in addition to the reviews by ENISA reviewers and other external reviewers).

text: All nine contributed on an individual basis by their expertise in NIS aspects of cybercrime, including but not limited to technical, legal, organisational and behavioural aspects of CSIRT and LE cooperation.

text: The desk research aims to collect data on the competences that are needed for CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary to perform their roles and duties related to fighting cybercrime. Special focus should also be given to training initiatives to facilitate cooperation across the communities.

text: 3.2. QUESTIONNAIRE

text: The following questionnaire can be used to support semi-structured interviews to collect data on roles and duties, required competences, synergies and potential interferences:

text: Section 1 – Questions on general legal/organisational aspects

text: 1. What is the role of your organisation in fighting cybercrime activities? 2. Does your legal framework support the cooperation between CSIRT/LEA and the interaction/information flow with the judiciary (prosecutors and judges) in cybercrime 3. Regarding cybercrime cases, could you briefly describe how information is shared between CSIRTs – national and governmental in particular – LEAs, prosecutors and judges?

text: Segregation of duties (SoD) matrix

text: 4. Referring to the SoD matrix that was sent to you before this interview […], could you fill it out by identifying for each duty which actor (CSIRT, LE, Prosecutors, Judges) in your country is: o Responsible (R): responsible for performing this duty, is the decision-maker o Supporting (S): providing support when performing this duty (if applicable) o Consulted (C): consulted during the performance of this duty (if applicable) o Informed (I): informed when performing this duty? (if applicable)

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Section 2 – Questions on possible synergies and potential interferences

text: 5. In your opinion, which are the possible synergies across CSIRT/LE and judiciary during the performance of their fighting cybercrime-related duties? Have you seen in reality such synergies taking place? Could you give us an example? 6. In your opinion, which are the potential interferences across CSIRT/LE and judiciary during the performance of their fighting cybercrime-related duties? Have you seen in reality such interference taking place? Could you provide an example?

text: Section 3 – Questions on challenges

text: 7. Are there any specific challenges that you would like to mention about cooperation across the CSIRT/LE and judiciary communities? If yes, what kind of challenges (e.g. legal, organisational, technical, cultural)?

text: 8. Are there any challenges that you would like to mention in particular regarding digital forensics and electronic evidence (e-evidence)?

text: Section 4 – Questions on competences and training

text: 9. What are the competencies that your organisation/community has and could share with the other communities (in particular CSIRT with LE/judiciary, LE with CSIRT, and judiciary with CSIRT)?

text: 10. Which competencies do you feel are lacking/could be improved in your organisation/community and you might improve by learning from another community (e.g. CSIRT from LE/judiciary, LE from CSIRT, and judiciary from CSIRT)?

text: 11. Does your organisation organise and/or participate in joint training across CSIRTs, LEAs and judiciary (prosecutor and judges) communities? If yes, do you find them useful?

text: Section 5 – Question on covid-19 pandemic crisis

text: 12. Has the COVID-19 pandemic crisis changed the way CSIRT/LE/judiciary work together? If yes, how so? Could you provide an example? (e.g. fewer meetings in person, but on the other hand more communication via email and over the phone)

text: Section 6 – Question on cybersecurity certification of forensic tools

text: 13. Do you think that a cybersecurity certification of forensic tools would help the CSIRT/LE/judiciary cooperation? (e.g. if CSIRTs use certified tools, the LE and Judiciary might trust more the data provided by CSIRT and use them more easily as evidence in court)

text: Section 7 – Question on any additional information or comments

text: 14. Would you like to share any additional information or provide us with any comment?

text: The complete questionnaire is presented in Annex E.

text: 3.3. SOD MATRIX

text: To complement and support data collection using the desk research and the semi-structured interviews, the SoD matrix in Table 1 is proposed to be used to collect data on the different roles of CSIRT, LE and judiciary, in the different phases of a cybercrime investigation. The development of this SoD matrix is described in Section 2.3, while a detailed description of the different roles and guidelines on how to fill in the matrix are provided below.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Table 1: SoD matrix used to collect data by implementing the RSCI method

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: As it was the case for the data collection for this report, the matrix in Table 1 can be sent to interviewees along with the questionnaire before the interviews.

text: Some explanations on the matrix are provided below:

text:  At the top of the SoD matrix the four possible roles that each actor (CSIRTs, LE,

text: prosecutors and judges) may play are listed and explained: Responsible (R), Supporting (S) (if applicable), Consulted (C) (if applicable), and informed (I) (if applicable).  In the rows, the duties are listed and numbered for convenience (e.g. 10. Collecting data that may be evidence/evidence collection). It should be noted that ‘duties’ refers to the tasks performed by the communities during the cybercrime investigation phases.  Columns 2–5 refer to the key actors throughout the cybercrime investigation life cycle:

text: CSIRTs, LE, prosecutors and judges.  In this matrix, the interviewees were asked to indicate which role(s) each actor

text: (CSIRTs, LE, prosecutors, judges) plays in the performance of duties during a cybercrime (supporting)-fighting activity. In particular, the interviewees were asked to identify whether the CSIRT, LE, the prosecutor or the judge ‘Responsible’ for a particular duty and, if applicable, which other actor is responsible for ‘Supporting’ the performance of that duty, and who is ‘Consulted’ or ‘Informed’ during the performance of that duty.  Column 6 (optional) is used to capture information on training topics that need to be

text: covered for the communities to be able to successfully perform their tasks. It should be noted that the training needs are directly linked to the competences required for the performance of the specific duties.  Column 7 is used for any additional information an interviewee might provide, with the

text: aim of recording possible synergies and potential interferences, especially for those cases where a task is performed by more than one community.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: An example of how to fill in the SoD matrix using the RSCI method is presented in Table 2. A LEA has been asked to indicate the roles that each community plays when ‘collecting data that may be evidence’.

text:  The LEA is Responsible (R) for evidence collection while the CSIRT is Supporting (S) this cybercrime-fighting activity, as it also collects evidence that may be useful for LE.

text:  The prosecutor may be Consulted (C) and Informed (I) during the evidence collection

text: phase to provide guidance on the types of data that need to be collected and to confirm if these data are admissible in criminal proceedings. Judges do not participate in this activity.

text: Table 2: Example of completed information related to one duty in the SoD matrix

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: 4. COUNTRY FOCUS

text: This chapter presents the analysis of the data collected using the methodology outlined in Chapter 3 for the following MSs/EFTA countries:

text: For each country, first, an analysis of the roles and duties of CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary is provided. This is followed by a description of synergies and potential interferences. Finally, some examples of existing training programmes are provided.

text: The country profile analysis was based on desk research and interviews with CSIRTs, LE and some judiciary representatives. Contributions from the interviewees are acknowledged in the report. However, the following points should be noted:

text:  For consistency, the names of those interviewed are not provided, as some interviewees requested not to be named in the report.  Interviewees provided their contributions based on their knowledge and expertise and were not acting as representatives of their country.

text: In each country section, a subsection is dedicated to the ‘roles and duties’ of competent authorities and departments that perform duties related to preventing and fighting cybercrime. The tables of competent authorities and departments provided are not exhaustive but rather aim to present the reader with a quick overview. Additional information on the authorities and departments and their roles and duties can be found in the subsections that follow these tables. It should be noted that each country has its own organisations in terms of CSIRTs, including national and governmental CSIRTs (as well as other CSIRTs), and also LE and judiciary authorities.

text: 4.1. CZECHIA

text: Czechia is a ‘parliamentary republic with a head of government, the prime minister – and a head of state, the president. The country is divided into 14 regions, including the capital, Prague’ (European Union, n.d.a).

text: In the following subsections, an overview of the main authorities involved in the response to cybercrime in Czechia is provided, synergies and possible interferences are discussed and examples of relevant training are provided. More information on the relevant Czech legal framework can be found in Annex C.

text: In 2014 Czechia adopted its NCSS for 2015–2020 (NBÚ, 2015) (ENISA, n.d.e)). Cybersecurity has been regulated by the Cyber Security Act since 2014 (NCKB, 2014). The Cyber Security Act regulates the rights and obligations of persons, as well as the powers and competences of public authorities, in the field of cybersecurity. It also implements relevant EU provisions

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: (transposing, for example, the NIS Directive (European Parliament and Council, 2016)) and regulates the security requirements for electronic communications networks and information systems.

text: 4.1.1. Roles and duties

text: In Czechia, the following authorities and departments play a role in and perform duties related to preventing and fighting cybercrime.

text: 4.1.1.1. National cyber security agency

text: The National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NCISA) is responsible for the implementation of the NCSS in Czechia. It is ‘the central administrative body for cyber security, including the protection of classified information in the field of information and communication systems and cryptographic protection’ (NÚKIB, n.d.). It can also act as an ‘expert’ on cybersecurity issues for LE and provide technical help in criminal investigations. NCISA ‘operate[s] the government security team, the so-called Government CERT of the Czech Republic (GovCERT.CZ)’ (NÚKIB, n.d. a). It also engages in dialogue with the other EU Member States. NCISA cooperates with other national and foreign CSIRTs, supports education and research and development in the field of cybersecurity, performs security audits and exercises, and engages in international cooperation and policy work. It also offers legal and policy support in the field of cybersecurity to other governmental bodies and their CSIRTs.

text: 4.1.1.2. CSIRTs

text: In Czechia, there are officially two nationwide CSIRT teams recognized by the Cyber Security Act: the governmental CERT (GovCERT.CZ) and a national CSIRT (CSIRT.CZ).

text: GovCERT.CZ is a public entity operated by the executive section of NCISA. GovCERT.CZ’s ‘goal is to help [the critical information infrastructure and the state bodies] to effectively face security challenges, react on the incidents, coordinate actions to solve them and effectively prevent them’ (NÚKIB, n.d.). Its ‘constituency are public sector institutions and critical information infrastructure of the Czech Republic’ (NCBK, 2015, p. 8). Operators of these infrastructures are required by law to report cybersecurity incidents to NCISA. GovCERT.CZ is therefore responsible for the evaluation of, and coordination of the response to, severe incidents and the sharing of relevant information about incidents or threats with relevant authorities, operators of relevant infrastructures and the public. GovCERT.CZ/NCISA may require regulated

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: entities to implement reactive or preventive measures in reaction to specific cybersecurity incidents and threats.

text: CSIRT.CZ is a private entity operated by the Czech domain registry CZ.NIC on the basis of a public contract arranged with NCISA. CSIRT.CZ fulfils the role of a national CSIRT, as defined in the Cyber Security Act. It collects mandatory reports of cybersecurity incidents from operators of important networks and digital services, coordinates the response to them and shares data and information with GovCERT.CZ.

text: There are three main reasons why there are two nationwide CSIRTs in Czechia. The first reason is because of the principle of the minimisation of state intervention – it is not necessary for the state to strictly regulate all operators of information infrastructures; therefore, GovCERT.CZ deals only with the most important infrastructures in terms of national security and provides other infrastructures with the opportunity to cooperate through the national CSIRT. The second reason is that private infrastructure operators are more willing to cooperate with another private entity than with the state; therefore, a greater intensity and scope of cooperation between the infrastructure operators and the private national CSIRT is expected. The third reason is that a public institution can do only what the law expressly allows, whereas the private national CSIRT can be much more creative in coordinating and organising the response to cybersecurity incidents, as it can act praeter legem and can do anything that the law does not explicitly prohibit it from doing (Government of the Czech Republic, 2020).

text: 4.1.1.3. LE

text: The National Centre against Organized Crime (Národní centrála proti organizovanému zločinu – NCOZ) was established in 2016 by merging the Organized Crime Detection Unit (Útvar pro odhalování organizovaného zločinu – ÚOOZ) and the Corruption and Financial Crime Detection Unit (Útvar pro odhalování korupce a finanční criminality – ÚOKFK). It currently plays a key role in the fight against cybercrime in Czechia. As a central body, it specialises in the fight against organised and large-scale cybercrime and cybercrime against critical and important information infrastructures. NCOZ also plays a coordinating role and a role in the preparation of standard and recommended procedures for cybercrime investigations.

text: The Unit of Special Activities (Útvar zvláštních činností – ÚZČ) of the Police of the Czech Republic intercepts and records telecommunication traffic, conducts surveillance of persons and objects, and collects digital evidence and carries out other specialised actions aimed at securing such evidence.

text: At the regional level there are information crime units at each of the regional criminal police directorates. These units include specialists and have technical equipment for investigating cybercrime and securing electronic evidence. They conduct investigations and provide support and technical equipment in cybercrime investigations to lower organisational units.

text: 4.1.1.4. Judiciary

text: ‘The Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Czech Republic is the competent central authority in the pre-trial stage of criminal proceedings whereas the Ministry of Justice of Czechia is the competent central authority for the trial stage of criminal proceedings and when the execution of sentences is concerned’ (Council of Europe, n.d.b).

text: A network of prosecutors specialising in cybercrime has been formally established at the national level (Council of the European Union, 2017).

text: At the level of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and courts, an informal expert group has been set up at the Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office, which focuses on computer crime.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Judges in Czechia are independent in the performance of their duties and there is no specialisation of judges in criminal chambers. Cases are therefore assigned to judges according to a random key and it is up to each judge to educate themselves on the issue at hand. However, because of the increasing number of cybercrime cases, as well as cases in which familiarisation with the issue of electronic evidence is necessary, there is an increased interest in this area on the part of the judges. There is also a clear effort on the part of prosecutors and the police to provide relevant information on the context of, and to explain the technical details of, cases, including in cooperation with CSIRTs, academia and other members of the professional public.

text: Czechia cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.1.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: As in most countries, useful synergies and also at the same time reciptocal potential

text: INTERCOMMUNITY

text: interferences in the activities of individual communities can be identified. In general, representatives of these communities agreed that, if the activities of individual communities are COOPERATION coordinated, they are significantly more effective. In such cases, individual communities can support each other and share specific competences, powers, knowledge, information and Cooperation equipment. mechanisms have been set up and Over the last few years, many steps have been taken to strengthen the effectiveness of implemented intercommunity cooperation. The Cyber Security Act has been adopted, regulating the [enabling] immediate obligation to provide information and formulating the powers of NCISA and national and and effective bilateral governmental CSIRTs; a memorandum was concluded between NCISA and the police; the transfer of information position of liaison officer to enable police and CSIRT coordination was established; and on threats and cooperation mechanisms have been set up and implemented. These steps have led to many incidents between LE synergistic effects. In particular, they enable the immediate and effective bilateral transfer of and CSIRTs. information on threats and incidents between LE and CSIRTs, the mutual use of professional and technical capabilities of individual communities, mutual assistance in actions to fulfil relevant obligations, and cooperation with other communities. One synergistic effect specifically identified during the interviews is that CSIRTs share with LE information obtained from a constituency or cooperating alliances that would otherwise be unavailable to LE. However, although these synergies are particularly evident between CSIRTs and LE, they are relatively new in the case of the judiciary.

text: There are also some interferences that may occur between the communities. According to the interviewees the most important potential interference relates to the collection of digital evidence and stems from the differences between the goals and approaches of the different communities. Activities of CSIRTs focused on the mitigation of cyber incidents may seriously hinder collection of the evidence necessary for a criminal investigation, or even destroy it or render it inadmissible at court. In addition, one of the limitations of cooperation identified during the interviews is the effort made by CSIRTs to maintain trust within their constituencies. Although CSIRTs recommend that victims of cybercrime report incidents to and cooperate with LEAs, they sometimes refuse to do so for different reasons. In such cases CSIRTs are discouraged from sharing information about relevant incidents with LE because they fear a loss of trust on the part of their constituency. Another limitation identified is the lack of understanding, specifically between CSIRT and LE community technical experts and the judiciary.

text: During the interviews, the following recommendations were formulated by the interviewees:

text:  provide more coordination of activities – through training, more precise legal and procedural regulation and cooperation mechanisms;  provide transparent information-sharing mechanisms;

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text:  strengthen cooperation with the judiciary (CSIRT–LE cooperation is mostly already in place);  provide better descriptions of individual groups/units, so that everyone knows who to contact and when;  implement sustainable and trustworthy cooperation routines for all the institutions involved;  involve all of the communities in training; the training should be focused on the ability to rapidly share information between all communities.

text: 4.1.3. Examples of training

text: The Action Plan of the Cyber Security Strategy of Czechia (NCKB) considers promoting the development of Czechia’s police capabilities with regard to cybercrime. It mainly aims to:

text:  reinforce the personnel of individual police cybercrime departments;  modernise the technological equipment of specialised police departments;  develop cooperation with foreign counterparts;  provide professional education and training to police specialists, including language training.

text: The Conception of the Development of Capabilities of the Police of Czechia to Investigate Cybercrime was drafted by the Police Presidium of Czechia and adopted by the National Security Council in October 2015 (Council of the European Union, 2017).

text: Actions aimed at the prevention and public awareness of cybercrime are carried out by several authorities within Czechia, such as the National Cyber Security Centre, LEAs, the private sector, academia and non-governmental organisations.

text: The National Cybersecurity Competence Centre (NC3) (National Cybersecurity Competence Centre , n.d.) at Masaryk University, Brno (Masaryk University , n.d.), has developed a special tool, KYPO (Kybernetický polygon), which is a cyber range platform (KYPO, n.d.), and built a laboratory that is used to organise cybersecurity exercises. These consist of large-scale exercises held two to four times a year, with smaller exercises taking place a couple of times a month, and are offered to public authorities, businesses and education providers. NC3 offers training to judicial and police academies, investigators and public prosecutors. NCISA, in cooperation with NC3, also organises the annual Cyber Czech exercise using KYPO and its laboratory ( ).

text: Law enforcement and judicial authorities are provided with professional training on cybercrime. The aim is to establish standard practices and knowledge for the detection and investigation of cybercrime, with the main focus being to secure digital traces and evidence. Certain educational activities on dealing with cybercrime also take place at Secondary Police Schools of the Ministry of the Interior. Participation in national and international exercises in the field of cybersecurity, organised by GovCERT.CZ, also serve as professional training.

text: The Police Academy (The Police Academy of the Czech Republic, n.d.) also takes cybercrime into account in its lifelong training for officers. These training activities are organised with CEPOL and many of the courses are the result of the EMPACT initiatives (Europol, n.d.d).

text: The Judicial Academy (The Judicial Academy, n.d.) organises training activities for LE and prosecutors on cybercrime and electronic evidence in cooperation with the Police Academy.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Finally, tabletop exercises take place between CSIRTs and LE and help to improve communication.

text: 4.2. FRANCE

text: France is ‘a semi-presidential republic with a head of government, the prime minister, appointed by the president who is the directly elected head of state. France’s territory consists of 18 administrative regions – 13 metropolitan (i.e. European France) and 5 overseas regions’ (European Union, n.d.f).

text: In the following subsections, an overview of the main authorities involved in the response to cybercrime in France is provided, synergies and possible interferences are discussed and examples of relevant training are provided. More information on the relevant French legal framework can be found in Annex C.

text: France adopted its updated NCSS in 2015 (ANSSI, n.d.) (ENISA, n.d.h). ‘An initial cybersecurity strategy was developed in France in early 2010 and was published in early 2011’ (Prime Minister of France, 2015, p. 7).

text: 4.2.1. Roles and duties

text: In France, the following authorities and departments, in particular, are responsible for preventing, analysing and fighting cybercrime.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: 4.2.1.1. National cyber security agency

text: The National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information – ANSSI) is responsible for implementing the NCSS in France. ‘The role of ANSSI is to foster a coordinated, ambitious, pro-active response to cybersecurity issues in France, to drive raising-awareness actions, as well as to spread French vision and expertise, and European values, abroad’ (ANSSI, n.d. a).

text: 4.2.1.2. CSIRTs

text: France has an officially recognised national CSIRT, CERT-FR (French government CERT, Centre gouvernemental de veille, d’alerte et de réponse aux attaques informatiques).

text: CERT-FR is part of ANSSI. ‘Its mission is to coordinate and investigate IT security incident response for the French government, critical national infrastructure operators and operators of essential services as defined by the French law.

text: CERT-FR’s missions cover prevention, detection, response and recovery by:

text:  Helping to prevent security incidents by setting up necessary protection measures;  Detecting vulnerabilities on networks and systems;  Managing incident response, with the support of trusted partners if necessary;  Organizing trusted networks of CSIRT’ (ANSSI, 2018).

text: As a national CSIRT it is the preferred international contact point for any cyber-related incident affecting France. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week..

text: CERT-FR is a member of well-known networks of CSIRTs such as the CSIRTs Network, the FIRST and it participates in the TF-CSIRT activities. CERT-FR also creates a French initiative to structure the national incident response ecosystem called InterCERT-FR. As part of ANSSI, CERT-FR also work closely with the CyCLONe’s officers.

text: CSIRT of the Judicial Police (CSIRT Police Judiciaire – CSIRT-PJ) is the CSIRT of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police, operating under the Cybercrime Centre (CSIRT-PJ, n.d.). CSIRT-PJ aims to provide LE with CSIRT-like services: incident response, threat intelligence, and malware analysis tooling. It is a member of TF-CSIRT (listed) and belongs to the French CSIRT community called InterCERT-FR.

text: 4.2.1.3. LE

text: The National Police (Police nationale) has the principal mission of fighting against any form of criminality and delinquency including cybercrime. One of the directorates of the National Police is the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (Direction centrale de la police judiciaire – DCPJ), which performs investigative tasks and supports the prosecution service in cybercrime cases. Within the DCPJ, a sub-directorate for ICT-related offences has been established for the fight against cybercrime (Sous-direction de lutte contre la cybercriminalité – SDLC), which includes the Central Office for Combating Information and Communication Technology Crime

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: (Office Central de lutte contre la Criminalité liée aux Technologies de l’iInformation et de la Communication – OCLCTIC) ( ), a cyber-intelligence unit.

text: The National Gendarmerie (Gendarmerie nationale) is a branch of the French Armed Forces that is placed, as far as its civilian role goes, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior. The Central Criminal Intelligence Service of the National Gendarmerie (Service central de renseignement criminel de la Gendarmerie nationale – SCRCGN) is responsible for providing information and a precise understanding of organised and mass crime, to guide actions in the fight against crime in the pre-judicial and judicial phases. In parallel, within the SCRCGN, the Centre for the Fight against Digital Crimes (Centre de lutte contre les criminalités numériques – C3N) aims to conduct or coordinate investigations of national scope relating to cybercrime, and to carry out permanent surveillance of the internet, to detect and collect evidence of any offences that may be committed there.

text: Under the structure of the Paris Police Prefecture (Préfecture de police), the Cybercrime Unit (Brigade de lutte contre la cybercriminalité – BL2C) is assigned with cybercrime investigation tasks, in the capacity of judicial police (CSIRT-PJ, n.d.).

text: The Directorate-General for Internal Security (Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure – DGSI), among other duties, has jurisdiction over investigations into cyberattacks with a national security component. More precisely, the DGSI has exclusive judicial competence to carry out cybercrime investigations related to attacks against critical infrastructure, national institutional networks and operators of essential services (Ministère de l'Interieur, 2019).

text: 4.2.1.4. Judiciary

text: The French judicial system consists of ordinary courts, which include the criminal courts, and administrative courts. The Court of Cassation (Cour de Cassation) is the supreme court in the French judicial system of ordinary courts. The public prosecutor is the authority exercising prosecution tasks, referring cases to the ‘investigative judge’ (juge d’instruction) and overseeing the criminal investigation process and the judicial police (European Union, n.d.g) (Ministère de la Justice, 2012).

text: Within the public prosecutor’s offices, ‘an internal organisation has been set up to include a “specialist judge” (magistrat référent) for cybercrime, who can provide technical support to colleagues involved in cybercrime cases’ (Council of the European Union, 2015).

text: The Prosecutor of Paris now has national jurisdiction for cybercrime cases. As was highlighted during one of the interviews, the prosecutor can evoke any case on national territory. This approach provides better management of expertise as judges are specialised and handle a great number of cases. The Prosecutor of Paris has a cell of three magistrates who specialise in cybercrime.

text: One of the interviewees reported that the Mission against Cybercrime was established in 2015 within the French Ministry of Justice. This mission has a more strategic role. The following information emerged in this interview: ‘The tasks undertaken are not at an operational level but directly at the ministry level, to analyse the phenomenon, represent the ministry and provide official guidelines to handle relevant cases. An example of its work is to issue official guidelines for Prosecutors to treat and prosecute some cases, such as a document to centralize judicial treatment of ransomware. Public policy on the fight against cybercrime is elaborated at the level of this Mission to support the judiciary.’

text: 4.2.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: As emerged from the interviews ‘ANSSI/CERT-FR and FR law enforcement perimeters and mandates are complementary. As part of the national authority on cybersecurity, ANSSI/CERT- FR has the expertise on many cyber-related topics.’ ANSSI/CERT-FR helps both LE and the judiciary ‘by sharing […] expertise in cybersecurity and […] knowledge on threats’. As was stated during one of the interviews, ‘There are different directions [of interaction] between CSIRTs and LE but also the judiciary from the administrative and the operational side. ANSSI […], according to French law, […is] a public agency [and] has the obligation to inform the competent authorities in the event of a suspicious criminal case’. Therefore, ANSSI informs the Prosecutor Office when it becomes aware of a crime. On the other hand, the prosecutors can also ask for ‘help from ANSSI (e.g. on particular infrastructure data and on modus operandi), but this is still quite rare. There are [indeed] rather few cases […where] the judiciary has initiated a contact with the CSIRTs to handle a case.’

text: Usually, ANSSI is informed of an attack on its constituency (critical infrastructure operators) directly or the victim files a complaint to LE. ANSSI teams collect evidence in a legally sound manner and begin remediation. LE then receives and processes the evidence and conducts its analysis (on network logs, for example). The objective of LE is different from that of ANSSI: ANSSI is looking for every details of intrusion while LE is looking for identification information. Thus, ANSSI is able to suggest efficient remediation actions to the victim. In addition, as the interviewees noted, ‘a liaison officer has been appointed between the ANSSI/CERT-FR and the Ministry of [the] Interior and a dedicated process has been set up to share information on incidents that are reported to ANSSI and are relevant for [French] LE entities’.

text: Nevertheless, according to the interviewees, restrictions on information sharing may occur, such as ‘when an investigation is launched on a […] case [that is under judicial examination]’. In such EXAMPLE OF cases, ‘ANSSI/CERT-FR has to follow strict rules on information sharing with its other partners

As ‘threats are international but the law enforcement French LE.

In addition, such meetings help to clarify is a privileged actor which investigative tasks can be requested of local police to avoid overloading the specialised in terms of services. Indeed, the communities are committed to a ‘continuous improvement of the close cooperation and relations’ that they have established. information exchange. In addition, under the framework of the French cyber defence strategy entitled “La Revue stratégique de cyberdéfense”, a public–private initiative was launched in 2017 to raise awareness of the risks of cyberattacks to society and to support the victims of such attacks. The initiative is handled by the Public Interest Group for Action against Malicious Cyber Activities (Le Groupement d’Intérêt Public Action contre la Cybermalveillance (GIP ACYMA). The state actors involved are ANSSI, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Secretary of State in charge of the digital sector. Civil society is also represented in this Public Interest Group through consumer associations or victim support entities, as well as trade and labour unions. This public–private initiative also handles the online cybersecurity platform Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, which was put in place to guide individuals,

text: small businesses and local authorities in taking preventive steps against cyberattacks and addressing malicious events once they occur (Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, 2019).

text: 4.2.3. Examples of training

text: ANSSI offers free cybersecurity training to public organisations, among them LEAs, covering a wide variety of topics and expertise levels. A lot of the training addresses basic security for end users, as well as system administrators. It also deals with a wide range of advanced topics such as security audits, network security, security certificate management and implementation of cybersecurity certification. Finally, it provides training on very specialised topics such as radio security against TEMPEST attacks.

text: As discussed during the interviews, the communities could benefit from joint training, as this would ‘be useful to help strengthen the relationship between the CERT-FR/ANSSI and the LE [and] judiciary [communities]’. Moreover, the communities could benefit from learning more about each other’s counterparts in the ‘international cooperation process, [the] mechanisms and [the] main players [involved]’ to overcome the difficulties that occur in identifying competent actors and the actions to be expected.

text: Trainees at police, gendarmerie and judicial academies receive basic training on cybercrime. These courses are often complemented by conferences or scientific and technical police workshops.

text: The OCLCTIC of the National Police organises on an annual basis a training course for French judges and investigators entitled ‘Approach to cybercrime’, focusing on legal aspects related to cybercrime and the special investigation techniques. It also organises a ‘first responder’ training course aimed at police officers who have to carry out basic cybercrime-related investigative procedures (Council of the European Union, 2015).

text: The BL2C, part of the Paris Police Prefecture, participates in private sector training and provides two approved training courses to the judiciary and customs officers on digital police investigations.

text: The Information Systems Security Training Centre (CFSSI) is the main point of contact for ANSSI for the training of various agencies. It is also involved in the definition and implementation of the training policy.

text: CECyF, also called F-CCENTRE, is the French Expert Centre against Cybercrime. CECyF started in the context of the European project 2Centre (Cybercrime Centres of Excellence Network for Training Research and Education). CECyF provides support to LE researchers from both academia and the private sector and educational institutions to create projects that contribute to training, education and research on cybercrime (CECyF, n.d.).

text: Finally, the French National School for the Judiciary (Ecole nationale de la magistrature – ENM) provides multidisciplinary training to French and foreign judges, police officers, gendarmerie and customs officers on recent legislative developments, as well as specific aspects of digital investigations and the judicial handling of cybercrime.

text: In the following subsections, an overview of the main authorities involved in the response to cybercrime in Germany is provided, synergies and possible interferences are discussed and examples of relevant training are provided. More information on the relevant German legal framework can be found in Annex C.

text: Germany adopted its NCSS initially in 2011 (BMI, 2011); this was updated in 2016 (ENISA, n.d.f).

text: 4.3.1. Roles and duties

text: In Germany, the following authorities and departments in particular, are responsible for preventing, analysing and fighting cybercrime.

text: 4.3.1.1. National cyber security agency

text: The Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik – BSI) is the federal cybersecurity authority that ‘shapes information security in digitization through prevention, detection and reaction for government, business and society’ (BSI, n.d.). Its ‘goal […] is to promote IT security in Germany. The BSI is first and foremost the central IT security service provider for the federal government in Germany’ (BSI, n.d.). CERT-Bund is part of the BSI. The mandate and competences of the BSI are provided by the Act on the Federal Office for Information Security of 2009, last amended on 2017 (BSI, 2017).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The National Cyber Response Centre (Nationale Cyber-Abwehrzentrum – Cyber-AZ) has been set up to ‘optimize operational cooperation between all state authorities and improve the coordination of protection and response measures’. Different governmental agencies are part of this centre (BSI, BKA, BW-KdoCIR, BBK, BPOL, BfV, MAD and BND). ‘Cooperation in the National Cyber Response Centre […] strictly observe[s] the statutory tasks and powers of all authorities involved on the basis of cooperation agreements.’

text: 4.3.1.2. CSIRTs

text: As mentioned, CERT-Bund is part of the BSI. CERT-Bund is the national CSIRT and ‘acts as the central point of contact regarding IT-security incidents concerning the German government. In addition it provides services to critical infrastructure, industry and SME [small and mediumsized enterprises] as well as citizens. Germany’s national IT Situation Centre and the national Cyber Response Centre are supported by CERT-Bund’ (BSI, n.d. a). CERT-Bund is therefore responsible for a large constituency and handling IT security incidents related to government institutions, federal authorities, critical infrastructures and organisations.

text: The services that CERT-Bund offers are:

text:  ‘24-hour on-call duty in cooperation with the IT Situation Centre;  analysis of incoming incident reports;  creation of recommendations derived from incidents;  support during IT security incidents;  operation of a warning and information service;  active alerting of the Federal Administration in case of imminent danger’ (CERT-Bund, n.d.).

text: CERT-BPOL ( ) is part of the Federal Police (Bundespolizei). ‘After an attack in 2017, the CERT-BPOL was founded as the cyber attack analysis and defense center and has been reinforced continually ever since. The team comprises IT security staff from the Federal Police. The team consists of IT experts from the Federal Police supported by experts from industry and science. In order to detect and investigate incidents in the German Federal Police infrastructure, intrusion prevention systems are operated and infrastructure vulnerabilities are identified by CERT-BPOL. Liaison officers from CERT-BPOL represent the Federal Police Headquarters at the […] Cyber-AZ’ (Bundespolizei, 2017).

text: 4.3.1.3. LE

text: As of 1 April 2020, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt - BKA, n.d.) includes a separate division dealing with cybercrime, named Division CC – Cybercrime (Abteilung ‘Cybercrime’). This division emerged from the Cybercrime and Information and Communication Crime (ICT) group of the Serious and Organised Crime (SO) Department.

text: The main tasks of the Division CC – Cybercrime are to investigate cybercriminals and provide support to other departments, analyse information, protect federal institutions and critical infrastructures against cyberattacks and provide training to non-specialist employees of the BKA, as well as provide advice on relevant legal provisions (BKA-CC, n.d.).

text: The BKA is in communication with prosecutors and judges. The BSI has appointed a CSIRT-LE liaison officer to the BKA.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The German Federal Police is a (primarily) uniformed federal police force (Bundespolizei, n.d.). It is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesminister des Innern, für Bau und Heimat (BMI), n.d.).

text: LE authority is also exercised at the state level: the criminal police offices of the Länder (Landeskriminalämter – LKAs) are independent LEAs in all 16 states (Länder) and are subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior. The state police are known as the Landespolizei. They are the main points of contact for cybercrime for most of the Länder. The ‘16 federal states (Länder) [have] the authority to maintain their own police forces within their territory, along with the right to pass legislation and exercise police authority’ (BMI, n.d.).

text: 4.3.1.4. Judiciary

text: Following the federal structure of Germany, ‘the court system is also structured federally. Jurisdiction is exercised by federal courts and by the courts of the sixteen federal states (Länder). The main workload of the administration of justice lies with the Länder’ (European Union, n.d.b).

text: The BGH (Federal Court of Justice) is at the head of the local, regional and higher regional courts and functions as a court of appeal for both civil and criminal cases. In general its interpretations of the law are adopted by all regional courts and therefore do have far-reaching effects on German jurisdiction in general.

text: ‘The prosecution offices are set up at every regional court’ and ‘are competent to investigate all kinds of criminal offences except of offences against the state and other offences falling withinthe competence of the Federal Public Prosecution Office’. […] ‘On the federal level there is only one prosecution office, the Federal Public Prosecution Office which has its seat in Karlsruhe. In the area of investigation and prosecution of crimes, the Federal Public Prosecution Office is competent to investigate and prosecute crimes against the state and terrorist crimes as well as other cases, if they involve serious crime that goes beyond individual Länder borders’ (EJN, n.d.a).

text: Certain State Prosecutor’s Offices, such as the one in North Rhine-Westphalia, have a central cybercrime unit dealing ‘with significant cybercrime proceedings’ (Council of the European Union, 2017a, p. 28).

text: ‘There are no courts with specific jurisdiction in most of the Länder. In North Rhine-Westphalia, however, Cologne regional court has a criminal division with special jurisdiction on account of the Central Cybercrime Unit and Contact Point located at Cologne Public Prosecution office’ (Council of the European Union, 2017a, p. 28). Indeed, as was also highlighted during one of the interviews conducted, ‘Certain major courts have created special chambers with judges specifically trained in cybercrime cases (example of Chamber in the High Regional Court of Cologne).’ For more information on this point see (Landgericht Köln, pp. 90, section 242, subsections c) and d) ).

text: Germany cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.3.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: As emerged from both the desk research and the interviews, there are several synergies between the communities, and the Cyber-AZ plays an important role in bringing the communities together and facilitating their synergies. For instance, as one of the interviewees explained, the different agencies that are part of this centre (BSI, BKA, BW-KdoCIR, BBK, BPOL, BfV, MAD and BND) have ‘a daily interaction and coordination on handling and treating cases’. In addition, the agencies involved collaborate in ‘producing situation reports to cover the different aspects of an incident, from the perspective and within the limits of each agency’s [competence]’.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: As emerged from the interviews, ‘There is a daily flow of exchange of information [between CSIRTs and LE] for ongoing investigations and in the framework of analysing projects and AN EXAMPLE indicating prevention measures.’ For instance, the BSI may ‘recover data and information from

text: Court as testimonies by BSI experts’.

text: SYNERGIES

text: As one of the interviewees explained, the current legal framework does not anticipate having CSIRT personnel permanently assigned to prosecution authorities. Instead, according to the The Nationales German Code of Criminal Proceedings, the role that CSIRTs may play is either that of a witness Cyberor that of an expert. The CSIRT community can help prosecution authorities when there is a Abwehrzentrum need for a qualified technical expert. Indeed, ‘Even if the CSIRTs contacted do not have the (National Cyber specific qualified technical experts within their team, they can still support the prosecution Response Centre) authorities as they have many links in the technical community.’ Moreover, CSIRTs can provide plays an important support to prosecution authorities by reaching out to civil organisations and non-governmental role in bringing the organisations, as they are in a better position to perform this task. communities together and As one of the interviewees highlighted, ‘The major field of interference during an investigation facilitating their [between the different communities] is how to deal with the incident. The prosecution service synergies. aims at gathering proper judicial evidence, while the CSIRTs aim at dealing with the incident and fixing the issue. From the prosecutor’s perspective, gathering evidence takes much longer time than the CSIRTs would want. In any major case the usual discussion is what can be done to gather evidence and close the collection process as soon as possible in order to proceed with the CSIRT activity of unlocking the system.’

text: 4.3.3. Examples of training

text: The BKA has developed various national training programmes on cybercrime, including in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) forensics. The BKA is also responsible for training experts in the Federation and the Länder. As part of this training, it is possible to specialise in specific operating systems, networks/internet, mobile forensics and cryptology. The BKA also organises an internal basic training course on cybercrime once a year (Council of the European Union, 2017a).

text: Courses on cybercrime are offered at all levels, from basic to advanced/specialised, for all police officers and court experts in Germany.

text: The German Judicial Academy (Deutsche Richterakademie) also offers further training on criminal law and the internet on an annual basis and organises conferences and training on criminal law, forensics, criminal proceedings and investigative measures for judges and public prosecutors who are involved in combating internet crime (German Judicial Academy, n.d.).

text: The Brandenburg Judicial Academy (Justizakademie des Landes Brandenburg) organises regular training sessions for senior judiciary who handle cybercrime cases (Brandenburg Judicial Academy, n.d.). In addition, at a local level, training is organised (e.g. by the Joint Judicial Examination Office of the Länder of Berlin and Brandenburg) on combating cybercrime, including topics such as preservation of computer evidence, data network investigations, including a cross-border dimension, the challenges presented by big data and data protectionrelated issues.

text: At the Länder level, various training initiatives are offered for LE officers and prosecutors, such as in North Rhine-Westphalia, which organises ‘a joint training programme for specialists from the Land police force and public prosecutors’. However, practices such as working meetings and exchange of information are more common between the police and the public prosecutor’s offices on different aspects of combating cybercrime (Council of the European Union, 2017a). .

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: As emerged from the interviews, joint training takes place between the CSIRTs and LE, and, in particular, the Quick Reaction Force (QRF), with judiciary representatives also invited to participate in this training as observers.

text: As an interviewee explained, ‘In a joint exercise/practical training on critical infrastructures, which was held with the support of a private company, a representative from the prosecution office was invited to actively participate and the prosecutor was then on call during the real-life scenario.’ As another interviewee underlined, ‘The judges are usually not involved in such joint trainings, also due to [their] obligation to remain neutral/impartial (e.g. there could be a conflict if a training is organised by a private entity or an exercise hosted in a company’s premises).’

text: In addition, it should be noted that, as stated by one of the interviewees, the ‘Prosecution team has the responsibility for providing State justice academy trainings to LE officials. Regarding the CSIRT community, prosecutors actively engage in seminars and training sessions also involving the BSI. Through these, they are trying to share the information by inviting CSIRT experts in such events or participating respectively in trainings of the CSIRT community.’

text: However, what emerged from the interviews is that CSIRTs and LE work closely together on a daily basis and that they ‘have managed to learn from each other and understand each entity’s role and actions’. Since CSIRTs and the judiciary – because of their mandates and the legal framework – do not have many opportunities to work so closely together, the judiciary could ‘benefit greatly’ if the CSIRT community could provide training for prosecutor and judges to further improve their technical skills.

text: The National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information – ANSSI) is part of the High Commission for National Protection (Haut-Commisariat à la Protection nationale – HCPN) and is responsible for establishing information security policies and guidelines on non-classified information within the Luxembourg state bodies (ministries, state departments and administrations). ANSSI assists these bodies with risk analysis in the domain of information security, in order to help build up a culture of riskbased governance within the Luxembourg state, as required by the general information security policy. Furthermore, ANSSI is in charge of promoting information security awareness and may advise the Luxembourg state’s training institute on training programmes in the domain of information security.

text: 4.4.1.2. CSIRTs

text: National CERT Luxembourg (NCERT.LU), the CERT of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Équipe gouvernementale de réponse aux urgences informatiques – GOVCERT.LU) and the Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg (CIRCL) are the main actors responsible for the detection of and response to incidents.

text: NCERT.LU, run by GOVCERT.LU, is the national CSIRT (GOVCERT.LU, n.d.b). NCERT.LU gathers and disseminates information about security incidents that affect information and communication systems in Luxembourg. It also serves as interlocutor for natural and legal persons, entities and bodies, both national and international. Once it has received information, NCERT.LU must convey it to the CERTs in charge of the affected victim’s sector or, if no sectorial CERT exists, directly to the victim. NCERT.LU also advises about the specific points of contact according to the targeted sector.

text: CERT.LU, run by SECURITYMADEIN.LU, is the Cyber Emergency Response Community Luxembourg (CERT.LU, n.d.). It is an initiative to enhance collaboration between public and private CERTs in Luxembourg. The objective is to create a community of all of the major actors for sharing expertise.

text: GOVCERT.LU, the governmental CSIRT, ‘is the single point of contact dedicated to the treatment of all computer related incidents jeopardising the information systems of the government and defined critical infrastructure operators, whether they are public or private’ (GOVCERT.LU, n.d.). The services provided by GOVCERT.LU include incident handling, coordination and resolution, and also proactive services such as notification of malware and vulnerabilities, as well as compromised (infected) systems, among others. ‘The Constituency of GOVCERT.LU is made of:

text:  all ministries, administrations and services of the Luxembourgish government

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text:  military organizations and administrations using a military system of the Luxembourgish government (e.g. embassies)  critical infrastructure operators of the Grand-duchy of Luxembourg  some major players in sensitive sectors within the Grand-duchy of Luxembourg’ (GOVCERT.LU, n.d.a).

text: CIRCL ‘is a government-driven initiative designed to gather, review, report and respond to computer security threats and incidents’ (CIRCL.LU, n.d.). ‘CIRCL is the CERT for the private sector, communes and non-governmental entities for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg’ (CIRCL.LU, n.d. b).

text: CIRCL provides incident response capacities and remediation to national ICT users. It also takes a coordinator’s role during incidents involving multiple actors, both national and international. It is also charged with collecting information about incidents to enhance future responses. CIRCL also handles vulnerability management and disclosure and incident response training (CIRCL, 2020).

text: CIRCL has created a large number of tools applicable to forensics, incident responses, network analysis, dark web monitoring and threat intelligence. The most successful of these tools is MISP (Open Source Threat Intelligence Platform & Open Standards For Threat Information Sharing), which is a threat intelligence database with very large information-sharing capabilities. It is used by more than 6000 entities worldwide and is becoming a de facto standard in the CSIRT community.

text: CIRCL already has a strong LE cooperation culture through frequent informal exchanges and training programmes, such as the Horizon 2020 ENFORCE project and the NEOLEA initiative (CIRCL.LU, n.d. a).

text: The HCPNis a coordinating mechanism for responding to serious cyberattacks (HCPN, n.d.). It also includes a Cybernetic Risk Evaluation Cell (Cellule d’Evaluation du Risque Cybernétique) known as CERC (The Luxembourg Government, 2018).

text: 4.4.1.3. LE

text: The Grand-Ducal Police (Police Grand-Ducale, n.d.) is the primary LEA in Luxembourg.

text: The Directorate of the Judicial Police Service (SPJ) ‘is responsible, inter alia, for the Coordination of judicial activities at the national and international level. It is also responsible for defining and managing, in collaboration with the judicial authorities, judicial investigations.’ Within the SPJ the Department of Property Crime has a section on cybercrime (OSCE, n.d.a). The SPJ is composed of two units:

text:  Cybercrime Unit. This unit deals with pure cybercrime mainly against ICT systems. It handles felonies such as data theft, modification and erasure, as well as cyberbullying and property scam. It is the international point of contact for Europol, Interpol and 24/7 networks.  High Tech Analysis Unit. This unit provides forensic support to other police units. It handles lawful evidence collection, interception management and maintenance for audio/video special equipment.

text: To prevent and combat cybercrime, LE in Luxembourg cooperates with the following authorities:

text:  Principal Public Prosecutor’s Office (mutual legal assistance);  Public Prosecutor (investigation and prosecution)/Parquet général;  Office of the Examining Magistrate (preparatory enquiries and enforcement action);

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text:  Financial Intelligence Unit (financial crime using new technologies);  criminal courts.

text: 4.4.1.4. Judiciary

text: The judicial system of Luxembourg is ‘divided into a judicial branch’, including the criminal courts, ‘and an administrative branch’ (European Union, n.d.e).

text: Some magistrates from the Public Prosecutor’s Office and a magistrate at the level of the Financial Intelligence Unit are responsible, among other duties, for cybercrime cases.

text: Luxembourg also cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.4.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: The different communities in Luxembourg have a strong tradition of cooperation and collaboration. The CSIRT/LE and judiciary cybercrime working group brings together national authorities (Public Prosecutor’s Office, LE and CSIRTs) to exchange information regularly, for instance on their interactions with service providers.

text: The police rely on mutual legal assistance instruments and the direct exchange of information with Europol and Interpol, but also on the voluntary sharing of information by communication service providers.

text: An interesting case of synergies was mentioned during the interviews. This was a case ‘where the LE performed a significant data interception, that CSIRTs were not allowed to do but onwards CSIRTs supported in analysing this data package. Similarly, [synergies are achieved] in cases of seizing of equipment performed by the LE, later on, analysed with the support of CSIRTs.’

text: An example of synergies in developing training was also provided during the interviews, in the context of the ENFORCE project (CIRCL.LU, n.d. a) during the training, CSIRT technologies were shown and feedback from the LE received and improvements in tools.

text: CSIRTs (such as CIRCL) can provide technical pre-investigation and investigation support before LE intervention. They also support requests from the judiciary and other LEAs for technical assistance.

text: Information sharing is carried out automatically using MISP, using sharing groups to implement information sharing rules. Specific information regarding financial fraud is shared with the

text: ACHIEVING SYNERGIES

text: Main synergies occur through cooperation between CSIRTs and LEAs. LEAs have legal tools to enable data acquisition by seizing and intercepting servers. Other synergies can be handled during training (see below).There is a memorandum of understanding between CSIRTs and LE. The different communities in Potential interferences can occur when LEAs and CSIRTs come into conflicts. LEAs may disturb Luxembourg have a CSIRT monitoring operations when seizing a piece of infrastructure studied by CSIRTs. strong tradition of cooperation and Outside the EU, the use of Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) can cause extensive delays collaboration. and impede cooperation.

text: Another challenge is the discrepancy in data-handling capacities. CSIRTs generate a lot of data, for example in the field of child abuse. Since LEAs works on a case-by-case model, they cannot handle large numbers of data without predefined agreements.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The final challenge is to improve evidence handling by MISP: large data sets need to be handled in such a way as to preserve the chain of custody.

text: One way to improve synergies would be to share information in real time. This is legally challenging but would be more profitable for all entities.

text: 4.4.3. Examples of training

text: ‘Law enforcement officers are trained at the Police school of the Grand-Ducal Police. […]. In addition, the Police school is responsible for managing the continuing education of the personnel of the Grand-Ducal Police’ At the Police School, cybercrime is covered during basic training and professional development for police officers and investigators (OSCE, n.d.a).

text: To increase opportunities to provide specialised training to IT forensic experts and investigators working on cybercrime cases, the SPJ arranges training in coordination with neighbouring police agencies. It is also common practice for personnel attending external training to pass on their knowledge to others by organising internal training sessions.

text: Luxembourg ‘does not have a specific institution or school for the training of its judges and prosecutors, therefore, the Ministry of Justice has reached an agreement with the French Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature and the German Judicial Academy’ (Deutschen Richterakademie) (EJTN, n.d.).

text: In addition, the New Technologies Section of the SPJ provides training for judges, especially on new tools and methods used by cybercriminals (darknet, bitcoin, etc.).

text: In the interviews, further examples of training were discussed. For example, when customers share their issues and needs in the field of cybercrime, this helps CSIRTs understand the requirements of cybercrime investigations. Further, the Prosecutor’s Office also provides training related to the four ways of filing a complaint for a CSIRT’s constituency.

text: As emerged from the interviews, ‘There is a set of training that is already provided by CSIRTs to LE, i.e. for OSINT [open-source intelligence], cryptographic keys ([…] published under the ENFORCE project) and forensic tools, including forensics acquisition. There are cases of prosecutors and judges that joint such trainings, as they had a demonstrated interest in the field’

text: LE and CSIRTs also participate in training exercises provided by the ENFORCE Project. The ENFORCE project is a ‘European project co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Internal Security Fund – Police. […]. The ENFORCE project aims at designing, setting-up, and disseminating a cybercrime training curriculum at the European level. This curriculum will be validated during a training exercise allowing different European public (e.g. law enforcement agencies and CSIRTs) and private actors fighting cybercrime to train together using state-of-the-art training technology’. CEIS, the coordinator of the ENFORCE Project, also co-organizes a cybercrime training with the Luxembourgian CIRCL and the French National Police” (CEIS, n.d.). This training material specifically addresses aspects of cooperation.

text: According to the data collected during the interviews, CSIRTs have received training from the Customs Authority. This was in the form of a workshop, where the Customs Authority shared concerns related to cybercrime and was able to discuss how CSIRTs can help (e.g. when seizing equipment at the borders and how this should be handled before being submitted for analysis

text: Norway adopted a new NCSS in 2019; this is the fourth edition of the NCSS, with the first strategy published in 2003 (ENISA, n.d.i) (Norwegian Ministeries, n.d.).

text: 4.5.1. Roles and duties

text: In Norway, the following authorities and departments, in particular, are responsible for preventing, analysing and fighting cybercrime.

text: 4.5.1.1. National cyber security agency

text: The Ministry of Justice and Public Security is primarily the responsible authority for network and information security in Norway. The Norwegian National Security Authority (Nasjonal sikkerhetsmyndighet – NSM) is the national organisation focusing on cybersecurity in the country. Under the NSM, organisations run different functions related to cybersecurity and cybercrime, such as the Norwegian CERT (NorCERT) and the Norwegian National Cyber Security Centre (Nasjonalt cybersikkerhetssenter – NCSC) (NSM, n.d.).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: 4.5.1.2. CSIRTs

text: Norway has an officially recognised national and governmental CSIRT (NSM, n.d.). The NSM is responsible for NorCERT.

text: The main activities of NorCERT are “response to cyber threats in our technical threat operation centre 24/7; operate and organise a national sensor network on the internet to detect data breaches in critical infrastructure across sectors; reverse engineering, forensics, network analysis and counterintelligence” (NCSC, n.d.).

text: In addition, Norway has different sectorial CSIRTs, such as:

text:  HelseCERT, which supports the Norwegian healthcare sector (HelseCERT, n.d.)  UNINETT CERT, of the UNINETT ‘ICT infrastructure company in Norway’ (UNINETT, n.d. ) (UNINETT , n.d a).  UiO-CERT, the University of Oslo’s CSIRT (UiO-CERT, n.d.);  FinansCERT, the CSIRT supporting the Norwegian financial sector (FinansCERT, n.d.).

text: 4.5.1.3. LE

text: The Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste – PST) is the national security service of Norway. The activities of the PST are assigned by the Police Act and it reports directly to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.

text: The main aim of the National Criminal Investigation Service (Den nasjonale enhet for bekjempelse av organisert og annen alvorlig kriminalitet – Kripos) is to prevent and combat serious organised crime. Its main functions are criminal investigations, forensic investigations, gathering criminal intelligence and undertaking international police cooperation (Politiet, n.d.). The National Cybercrime Centre (NC3) falls under Kripos. The main activities of NC3 fall under the following areas: cybercrime investigations, digital forensics, internet investigations and internet crimes against children (Politiet, n.d. a). Within Kripos there is also a high-tech crime division that acts as a 24/7 point of contact.

text: The National Police Directorate is the highest police authority in Norway and ‘falls under the Ministry of Justice and Public Security’. The National Police Directorate supports police bodies and special units and provides expertise (Politiet, n.d.c)

text: As emerged from one of the interviews conducted, in relation to cybercrime, the role of the national police in Norway, in particular Kripos, is prevention and investigation and intelligence gathering. For LEAs in Norway, fighting cybercrime is no different from fighting other crimes.

text: Prosecutors are integrated into LEAs, sharing the same offices with LE personnel; hence, there is a seamless exchange of information and close cooperation between the two. On the legal framework side a specific Police Act allows police to share information with the national CERT to prevent criminal activities.

text: 4.5.1.4. Judiciary

text: The Norwegian Prosecuting Authority (Påtalemyndigheten) is the competent authority for legal prosecutions in Norway. It handles investigations and prosecutions of criminal cases.

text: The Norwegian Prosecuting Authority is divided into the following levels:

text:  the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP);  the Regional Public Prosecution Offices (PPO);  the Prosecuting Authority in the Police (Higher Prosecuting Authority, n.d.)

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (Den sentrale enhet for etterforsking og påtale av økonomisk kriminalitet og miljøkriminalitet – Økokrim) provides services as a police unit but also as a prosecution authority with specific expertise in computer crime and fraud (Økokrim, n.d.).

text: In Norwegian judicial system, the supreme court ‘is the highest court in Norway […] and has an authority in all areas of the law’ (Domstol, n.d.). Judicial cooperation in criminal matters with EU Member States is based on the principles of mutual recognition and direct contact between the judicial authorities.

text: Norway also cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.5.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: As mentioned above, Økokrim, because of its dual nature as a police unit and a prosecution

text: ESTABLISHED

text: authority, cooperates with a number of other authorities, such as surveillance authorities, the business sector, in combating economic and environmental crime. SYNERGIES

text: In addition, the Joint Cyber Coordination Centre (Felles cyberkoordineringssenter – FCKS) is a Through the Joint key collaborative hub that consists of representatives from the NSM, the Norwegian Intelligence Cyber Coordination Service, the PST and Kripos. The FCKS is also coordinated by the NSM (FCKS, n.d.). Centre, prosecutors hold monthly NC3 cooperates closely with public and private security entities in Norway and abroad, meetings with the especially regarding the exchange of information (Politiet, n.d.b). Cooperation mechanisms legal officers of the have also been established between LE and NorCERT. CERT communities.

text: The interviews showed that a lot of synergies are established in tactical operations and at strategic levels. There are cases of LEAs and national CERTs attending crime scenes together and conducting investigations together, to complement each other’s capabilities. For instance, if information is discovered by LE that is deemed important for a national CERT, this information is passed on to the CERT. Joint reports are prepared and submitted to the government in the field of cybercrime, including on risks. Another example is LEAs and CERTs discussing and analysing the issues together. Through the Joint Cyber Coordination Centre, prosecutors hold monthly meetings with the legal officers of the CERT communities.

text: However, as emerged in the interviews, there are also potential interferences. In one example, in the early stages of cooperation the national CERT found a CC server abroad and passed the information to the hosting country. The hosting country could have decided to shut down the server, which may have been problematic for the LEA and its operational plan.

text: 4.5.3. Examples of training

text: “The Norwegian Police University College (/Politihøgskolen – (NPUC) ‘is the central educational institution for the police service in Norway. Basic training for police officers is a three-year university college education aimed at providing a broad practical and theoretical foundation’. The college provides education in areas such as ‘policing, crime investigation and prevention, and prosecution and administrative responsibilities’ (OSCE, n.d.b.).

text: The college also provides training in areas such as:

text:  international civil crisis management;  Schengen Border and Immigration Service;  Nordic Baltic Police Academy (NPUC, n.d.) (OSCE, n.d.b.).

text: The NPUC is also a member of the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group (ECTEG) (ECTEG, n.d. a).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The Norwegian Center for Cyber and Information Security (CCIS) develops cybersecurity competences for Norwegian agencies, companies and academia. It is supported by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and members of its board of directors come from authorities such as the NSM, the Police Directorate and the NPUC, among others (CCIS, n.d.).

text: From the data collected in the interviews, it emerged that the different communities (CSIRTs, LE and judiciary) participate in shared exercises with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as well as other national exercises held by private partners. LEAs also participate in such training activities along with the private sector, mostly in the telecoms field.

text: NC3 organises training for LEAs as well as prosecutors.

text: 4.6. PORTUGAL

text: Portugal is ‘a semi-presidential republic with a head of government, the prime minister, and a head of state, the president, who has power to appoint the prime minister and other government members. The country is administratively divided into 308 municipalities, subdivided into 3 092 civil parishes’ (European Union, n.d.i.).

text: In the following subsections, an overview of the main authorities involved in the response to cybercrime in Portugal is provided, synergies and possible interferences are discussed and examples of relevant training are provided. More information on the relevant Portuguese legal framework can be found in Annex C.

text: Portugal adopted its first NCSS in 2015. In 2019, the Portuguese government issued the NCSS for 2019–2023 (ENISA, n.d.j).

text: 4.6.1. Roles and duties

text: In Portugal, the following authorities and departments, in particular, are responsible for preventing, analysing and fighting cybercrime.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: 4.6.1.1. National cyber security agency

text: The Portuguese National Cybersecurity Centre (Centro Nacional de Cibersegurança – CNCS) (CNCS, n.d.) monitors and coordinates the implementation of the NCSS and is the single point of contact. Its main focus is informing and raising the awareness of not only public entities and critical infrastructures but also the business sector and civil society.

text: 4.6.1.2. CSIRTs

text: Portugal has an officially recognised national CSIRT, CERT.PT (CNCS, n.a.a). CERT.PT ‘is a service integrated in the Portuguese National Cybersecurity Centre that coordinates the response to incidents involving State entities, operators of Critical infrastructures, operators of essential services, digital service providers and, in general, the national cyberspace, including any device belonging to a network or address block attributed to an operator of electronic communications, institution, collective or singular person based, or physically located, in Portuguese territory’ (CNCS, n.a.a). Its mission is to enhance national capacity in cybersecurity by creating new CSIRTs and developing the capacities of existing ones. CERT.PT is a member of the National CSIRT Network and a national representative in the CNW.

text: CC-CRISI is the CSIRT for the Portuguese Armed Forces Estado Maior General das Forças Armadas – EMGFA) (EMPFGA, n.d.).

text: 4.6.1.3. LE

text: The Judicial Police (Polícia Judiciária, n.d.) investigates violent crime, organised crime and financial crime. It is ‘a higher criminal police force falling under the Ministry of Justice. Its mission is to assist judicial and prosecuting authorities with investigations and to develop and foster preventive, detection and investigative actions, falling within its remit or entrusted with by the competent judicial and prosecuting authorities. […]. Polícia Judiciária is also responsible for ensuring the operation of the Europol National Unit and the Interpol National Central Bureau, within the framework established by national legislation” (Europol, n.d.b).

text: With the aim to fight against cybercrime, the Judicial Police established in February 2017 the National Unit to Combat Cybercrime and Technological Crime (Unidade Nacional de Combate ao Cibercrime e à Criminalidade Tecnológica), also known as UNCT3. A specialised team within the UNCT3 supports criminal investigations with technical and legal aspects (Polícia Judiciária , n.d.).

text: The Public Security Police (Polícia de Segurança Pública – PSP) is responsible for maintaining security and public order and investigating non-organised crimes and violent crimes (PSP, n.d.).

text: The Internal Intelligence Service (Serviço de Informações de Segurança – SIS, (SIS, n.d.) produces security intelligence to assist political decision-makers in fighting cybercrime, among other crimes. To accomplish its mission, the SIS is supported by all of the security and LEAs and public authorities in general.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: According to the data collected in the interviews, the organisation in Portugal in charge of cybercrime is Judicial Police, the police force that deals with anti-corruption, counter-terrorism, drug prevention and serious cybercrime.

text: Since the transposition of the NIS Directive, a new national law (Cybersecurity law) mentioned the needs of cooperation between the Portuguese CERT (the Portuguese national CERT is within the Cyber Centre) and other national CSIRTs. In addition, there is a clause in the law stating that the CNCS and the national criminal police should cooperate. This group involves four entities (known as G4): (1) the CNCS, (2) the Judicial Police, (3) the Cyber defence and (4) intelligence services. The G4 group collaborates with cyber diplomacy, a body within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is also tasked with supporting national services with information exchange in the EU space.

text: However, magistrates are not part of the G4 group because they have their own powers and can act directly/ask LE and the CNCS for services and information. They are therefore not explicitly mentioned in the legal act. Members of the G4 group have regular meetings and occasionally, if needed, undertake joint operations.

text: 4.6.1.4. Judiciary

text: The Portuguese judicial system ‘has two separate sets of courts, the civil courts and the administrative courts. Provision is also made for other courts, such as the Constitutional Court. In the civil sphere, the ordinary courts with civil and criminal jurisdiction are the judicial courts’ (European Union, n.d.j).

text: The Public Prosecution Service (Ministério Público – PPS) (PPS, n.d.) is the Portuguese prosecution authority. Within the PPS, the Prosecutor General’s Office (Procurador-Geral da República – PGO) (PGO, n.d.) acts as the central authority for international judicial cooperation in criminal matters. In addition, within the PPS, the Central Department of Criminal Investigation and Prosecution (Departamento Central de Investigação e Ação Penal – DCIAP) (DCIAP, n.d.) is a body entrusted with the coordination of the investigation of organised crime, as well as crime prevention.

text: Portugal cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.6.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: ‘The National Cybersecurity Centre is the operational coordinator and the Portuguese national authority specialised in cybersecurity working in this field with State entities, operators of Critical Infrastructures, operators of essential services and digital service providers, ensuring that the cyberspace is used as an area of freedom, security and justice, for the protection of all the sectors of society that materialize national sovereignty and the Democratic State under the rule of law’ (CNCS, n.d.b).

text: ANACOM (National Communications Authority, Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações) is the regulator, supervisor and representative of the communications sector in Portugal. The authority is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Electronic Communications Law (ANACOM, n.d.). In terms of criminal investigations, there is close cooperation between ANACOM, the Judicial Police and the Prosecutor General’s Office on combating cybercrime and obtaining digital evidence (ANACOM, n.d a).

text: As highlighted by one of the interviewees, ‘Nothing prevents the cooperation between CSIRTs, LE and […judiciary]. However, there are no particular laws in place’. ‘CSIRTs officers have the obligation to report malicious/suspicious events to the prosecution service’, which derives from the general rule stating that all ‘public institutions have the obligation to cooperate with the LE and the prosecution service during criminal investigations’.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: CERT-PT ‘coordinates the response to incidents involving State entities, operators of essential services, operators of national critical infrastructures and digital service providers’. In addition, the National Unit to Combat Cybercrime and Technological Crime (UNC3T) collaborates and directly supports the actions of prevention, detection and mitigation developed by national entities (Polícia Judiciária , n.d.). Finally, the Internal Intelligence Service (SIS, n.d.) collaborates closely with LEAs and public authorities, as well as providing support when this is requested.

text: As emerged from the interviews, one example of synergy is the sharing of methodologies: both

text: SYNERGIES IN

text: CSIRTs and LEAs run regular laboratories and/or joint exercises and share methodologies. Another example is the sharing of information: LEAs frequently share indicators of compromise MULTIPLE or indicators of threat with the other G4 members through the communication channel to verify LEVELS the information. There are also synergies across the different communities with regard to training: the police provide lectures to the school of magistrates and criminal police schools, as Examples of well as annual lectures to magistrates and the academic community. synergies include sharing of Nevertheless, addressing cybersecurity means dealing with the global security of cyberspace methodologies, and sometimes there is an overlap between the CNCS and the police. For example, if a CSIRT sharing of decides to bring down (‘takedown procedure’) a botnet without consulting a LEA that may be in information and the process of investigating it, this can cause disruptions. The G4 group was created to try and training activities. avoid conflicts and overlapping activities, and weekly meetings increase the levels of communication between the parties.

text: 4.6.3. Examples of training

text: The CNCS ensures that suitable training activities are provided to the CSIRT community, including but not limited to training sessions for CSIRT operators and coordination of national cybersecurity exercises and participation to international cybersecurity exercises. In addition, the CNCS supports the establishment of new CSIRTs, defines the required capabilities and circulates best practices for the handling of cybersecurity incidents (CNCS, n.d.c.).

text: In terms of LE training, the PSP offers both training/teaching courses at a basic level and specialised courses. The courses are taught by the Higher Institute of Police Sciences and Internal Security (Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna – ISCPSI) (ISCPSI, n.d.) and the Police Training School (Escola Prática de Polícia). The Police Training School provides training in criminal investigations. In addition, UNC3T is responsible for ensuring collaboration and direct participation in initial and ongoing training on cybercrime for staff involved in criminal investigations and in supporting the Judicial Police.

text: The Centre for Judiciary Studies (Centro de Estudos Judiciários – CEJ) (CEJ, n.d.) provides training for the judiciary on cybercrime and digital evidence, as well as on cyber components of the penal code and criminal investigations, aiming to provide to all judges and prosecutors a minimum level of knowledge and information on cybercrime. As reported during one of the interviews, “The judiciary community has established initiatives that usually try to involve experts from the other communities in their training activities (provided for prosecutors, judges, sometimes lawyers and LE). This is a common practice as they have observed the benefits of such an exchange.’ This will also help ‘to ensure that judiciary experts provide guidance to CSIRTs’.

text: The interviews revealed that CSIRTs and LE carry out joint exercises; however, in 2020 any planned training was not held because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The judiciary (prosecutors and judges) do not currently participate in such activities. The interviewees noted that CSIRTs and LE want to find a common approach. Once this is accomplished, they will expand the training to the judiciary community as well.

text: From the data collected in the interviews, it emerged that LE personnel participate in civil postgraduate programmes (legal or engineering programmes). Efforts are also being made to

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: provide more engineering courses to legal actors and more legal knowledge to engineers and set up links with the academic community. This is something that LE supports heavily through liaising with professors and students to inspire collaborations. LE participates in lectures on cybercrime law, digital forensics, ethics, etc.

text: As indicated in the interviews, the CNCS delivers such training online along with awareness courses for the public. LEAs receive training provided by the school of magistrates and criminal police schools, with the CNCS also providing annual lectures to magistrates.

The Romanian In terms of synergies, CERT-RO and the Romanian Police are working together to continuously CSIRT, LE and adapt the framework for information exchange and cooperation. One important aspect of this is judiciary cooperate the tools needed to support the cooperation framework, and here CERT-RO has made in fighting cyber important steps recently by implementing a National Cybersecurity Services Platform (NCSP) threats affecting the that can be used by all stakeholders: LEAs, CSIRTs, internet service providers, public and national IT private partners, and other authorities. infrastructure, citizens and Another common objective is to assure that technical training is provided for those who work in organisations. the areas of cybersecurity and cybercrime. CERT-RO also has a leading role here by organising regular technical workshops and seminars for all relevant stakeholders.

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Possible interferences have been reduced drastically as a result of recent developments in implementation of an optimal cooperation framework between the CSIRT, police and judiciary. Some interferences may still occur in cybercrime investigations, mainly because of the different focuses that these communities have, i.e. incident mitigation (CSIRTs) compared with evidence preservation and criminal prosecution (LE and judiciary).

text: 4.7.3. Examples of training

text: Since 2017, a national cyber exercise called CyDEX has been organised by the SRI through its National Cyberint Center, in cooperation with the national CSIRT (CERT-RO), the Ministry of Defence, the Military Technical Academy, the STS, the Protection and Guard Service and organisations form different private sectors. The latest exercise included participants from more than 90 organisations in the public and private sector, including CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary.

text: Training for LE at a foundational level and at advanced levels is provided by the Police Academy and the Police Officers School in Romania.

text: The training of judges and public prosecutors is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. Since 2004, the Ministry of Justice, through its website, has made available guides and useful information on judicial cooperation, such as handbooks and manuals, for Romanian judges and prosecutors (Romanian Ministry of Justice, n.d.).

text: In addition, the Romanian Centre of Excellence for Cybercrime Investigation (CYBEREX-RO) offers training to those organisations working to combat cybercrime in Romania, such as CERT- RO, the General Inspectorate of Romanian Police (Inspectoratul General al Poliţiei Române – IGPR) – Fraud Investigations Directorate (GIRP-FID, n.d.), the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice (POHCCJ, n.d.), the National Institute for Magistracy (NIM, n.d.), the Police Academy and others (European Commission, n.d.).Currently, there are no examples of joint training between the three communities.

text: “Cybercrime acts are dealt with by the general courts […] in the same manner as other criminal acts” (Council of the European Union, 2017b). The Swedish National Courts Administration (Domstolsverket) (Swedish National Courts Administration, n.d.) is the coordinating organisation for the Swedish courts.

text: Judicial cooperation in criminal matters with EU Member States is based on the principles of mutual recognition and direct contact between judicial authorities.

text: Sweden also cooperates with Eurojust and is a member of Eurojust’s Cybercrime Network.

text: 4.8.2. Synergies and potential interferences

text: ‘The SC3 and the Civil Contingencies Agency are developing cooperation mechanisms at operational as well as at strategic level’ (Council of the European Union, 2017b).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: Cooperation mechanisms have also been established between LE and the CERT-SE. In addition, collaboration between the private sector and financial institutions and LE has been established, mainly based on information sharing.

text: As indicated in the interviews with competent experts, there is a frequent exchange of information between the CSIRT and LE communities as part of monthly meetings established to

text: under the principle that ‘it is better to share than not to share’. The cooperation mechanisms established between the two communities have allowed them to complement each other when Established performing different tasks. This is particularly the case in interactions with the victims of an incident/cybercrime. cooperation and ‘In some cases the LE provide CSIRTs with information’ so that they can notify ‘their community and […] the victims. Examples are cases of Distributed Denial-of-Service spontaneous (DDoS) attacks and ransomware’. The CSIRT community ‘has a responsibility to advise the communication victims of an incident/cybercrime but cannot report the incident on behalf of the victim. CSIRTs under the principle do not have a mandate that would allow them to reach out to the victims to obtain information. that ‘it is better to [On their side, however,] LE are able to contact the victim and ensure their cooperation during share than not to an investigation process.’ It was also stressed that the CSIRT community relies on the trust share’ . relationships established with other CSIRT teams and organisations to ensure a flow of information and smooth collaboration. On the other hand, ‘the LE community has a strong legal framework that allows them to enforce their role and access information’.

text: As emerged from the interviews, ‘The national CSIRT [also] provides their technical expertise’ in cases where they are ‘called as expert witnesses in court proceedings. An example was a fraud case where CSIRT provided technical support in analysing evidence.’

text: Based on the feedback provided by the interviewees, ‘interferences have been noted due to the different tasks that the CSIRT and LE community have. But through mutual efforts [and trust], they have developed an understanding and have managed to benefit from each other’s skills.’ For instance, CSIRTs have been able to ‘support LE in evidence preservation if requested’.

text: Concerning the interaction between LE and the judiciary, LEAs share with prosecutors information connected to investigations. LEAs ‘share information with the judges only for court proceedings. Intervention by a judge during an investigation is rare (mainly limited to cases where decision needs to be made about restricting fundamental freedoms).’

text: 4.8.3. Examples of training

text: The Swedish National Police Academy (Polishögskolan) provides training for police officers (Polishögskolan, n.d.). The academy organises basic training for police officers in collaboration with higher education institutes such as Växjö University and Umeå University. It also coordinates participation in international courses such as those organised by CEPOL and the Association of European Police Colleges (AEPC) (OSCE, n.d.).

text: The SC3 also organises training for LE and coordinates the exchange of expertise through its website. It also participates in the ‘first responders e-learning’ package on IT forensics and IT crime knowledge, in cooperation with ECTEG and supported by Europol, CEPOL, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Council of Europe (ECTEG, n.d.) (Polisen, n.d. a). The material is used to support training for LE.

text: The Training Centre of the Swedish Prosecution Authority provides a specialised course on cybercrime ‘in the mandatory initial training and in the further training for prosecutors’. In addition, training in different areas is provided, such as on international legal assistance and on the legal systems of other countries. The Prosecution Authority also shares through its website a platform for prosecutors to exchange information and knowledge (Council of the European Union, 2017b).

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: The Swedish Judicial Training Academy organises training programmes for the judiciary. Although specialised training on cybercrime is not offered, ‘the Academy organises annual criminal law seminars on relevant topics’ (Council of the European Union, 2017b) (The Swedish Judicial Training Academy , n.d.).

text: The SC3 organises training for LE as well as prosecutors.

text: 4.9. FINAL REMARKS 4.9.1. Overview of skills and competences

text: The technical complexity and the cross-border nature of cybercrime has challenged the competences (including skills, knowledge, attributes and behaviours (IAEA, n.d.) (UN, n.d.) (OECD, 2014) of CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary, driving the three communities to refine their expertise and establish cooperation mechanisms. Interviews with country experts affirmed that interferences can occur during incident handling and cybercrime investigations, but that the communities make efforts to avoid such interferences, create effective partnerships and take advantage of their synergies.

text: The CSIRT community holds the technical expertise that is required to detect and mitigate cybersecurity incidents and restore cyber-secure environments. The LE and judiciary experts interviewed highlighted that the technical competences of the CSIRT community are also particularly valuable when it comes to assisting with evidence collection, preservation and presentation before a court of law. In addition, several interviewees confirmed that the information flow between CSIRTs and LE has been fundamental in ensuring operational and strategic awareness of cyberthreats.

text: Although each Member State has its own specific operational and legal framework for shaping the response to cybercrime, it emerged from the interviews that the LE community has an institutional role and carries out the following tasks: determining whether a cybersecurity incident has a criminal nature, conducting the investigation of cybercrime cases and reaching out to the victims of such cases to advise them and ensure their collaboration. To perform these tasks, the LE community applies its knowledge and expertise in digital forensics and criminal investigations. Provided they have a legal mandate, LEAs can aggregate pertinent information on cybercrime cases using their own evidence collection methods, directly from victims , but also through their LE counterparts in other countries and the CSIRT community. In the evidence collection framework, the LE community bears the responsibility for preserving the chain of custody and following the necessary procedures to bring criminals to justice.

text: The LE investigative activities are closely monitored by the judiciary and, in particular, by public prosecution authorities. Depending on the judicial system of each Member State, a prosecutor or an investigative judge is responsible for leading the cybercrime investigation process and has the authority to issue warrants and instructions to support evidence collection activities. The judiciary community (mainly the judges) assesses the admissibility of the evidence collected, examines the witnesses and pronounces the verdict, determining the criminal and civil liability of cybercrime perpetrators. In addition to their legal competences, given the technical nature of cybercrime, the judiciary needs to understand the technical matters to the extent required to be able to judge whether a suspect has committed a crime and the relevant circumstances to determine the sentence and they may require the support of the CSIRT community, whose delegates may be invited as expert witnesses before the courts.

text: The interviewees provided examples of training activities involving all three communities, sometimes in the form of joint exercises. These joint training exercises help enhance overall the competences required to respond to cybercrime. With joint training, the three communities can reach a ‘better understanding [of] the role and how the other communities work’, they become

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: more aware of the skills and strengths of the other communities and can enhance their competences by learning from each other. For instance, the CSIRT community can learn more about investigative techniques and ‘data acquisition, so that the data acquired by […CSIRTs] could more easily serve as evidence in criminal and other types of proceedings’, and can acquire legal knowledge, for example ‘how to identify if an incident is a crime, and what role LE has on that’. The LE community can obtain a better insight into the different ways that the CSIRT community shares information, as well as the tools used, and further knowledge on analysing data logs and performing incident analysis in specific areas. The judiciary community can benefit by gaining more awareness of cyberthreats and developing, in general, a better understanding of the technical aspects of cybercrime.

text: Finally, because of the cross-border nature of cybercrime, all three communities need to know about the different EU and international legal frameworks (notably the Convention on Cybercrime (Council of Europe, 2003) and cooperation mechanisms and networks (e.g. CSIRTs Network (CNW) (ENISA, n.d.a), European Union Cybercrime Task Force (EUCTF) (Europol, n.d.a), Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) (Europol, n.d.c) ( ), and European Judicial Cybercrime Network (EJCN) (Eurojust, n.d.b), 24/7 Points of Contact Network under the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime ( )). In addition, the communities need to develop their competences and build organisational and intercultural skills to liaise effectively with counterparts from other Member State and EFTA countries.

text: 4.9.2. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cooperation

text: It is indisputable that ‘The outbreak of Covid-19 has brought an immense change in the way we conduct our lives. In this increasingly connected world, we can, fortunately, continue our professional and private lives virtually’ (ENISA, n.d.b). Fortunately, cooperation among the CSIRT, LE, and judiciary communities has also continued during the pandemic crisis, and this is more crucial than ever because ‘The COVID-19 pandemic renders individuals and society extremely vulnerable in all respects’ (Council of Europe, 2020a) and ‘Criminals have quickly adapted their techniques to exploit [the situation and] our fears around the COVID-19 pandemic’ (Europol, 2020).

text: It emerged in quite an unequivocal manner from the data collected in the interviews that, in all eight countries analysed in this study, overall, the COVID‑19 pandemic has not hindered cooperation between the CSIRT, LE and judiciary communities; instead, it has generally become even closer and more frequent.

text: Some interviewees highlighted that meetings in person occurred less frequently (in particular those ‘that concerned very sensitive matters that cannot be handled on the phone or via emails)’, some meetings were postponed and some ‘joint training plans [were] disrupted’; however, more meetings took place using video/teleconferencing, several events were moved online and electronic communication, as well as the automatic exchange of information, overall seemed to have increased: ‘There is more information sharing. The big change is that we moved physical meetings to virtual ones.’ One of the interviewees stated that ‘Operations [were] still ongoing despite the pandemic, to avoid interrupting investigations in most of the cases’, although the fact that some meetings and court hearings were suspended represented a challenge.

text: In addition, the interviewees noted that the COVID-19 crisis ‘did not change the communication but rather made it more present and more frequent – almost a daily interaction and exchange of information was established. During this period [indeed], joint work and joint approaches were

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: established covering a broader scope of activities, including joint statements. In other words, COVID made the cooperation between CSIRTs and LE take place not only on criminal investigations and incidents but also on raising awareness.’ According to the interviewees, ‘The crisis [actually] helped the institutions to enhance their distance working capacities, e.g. to organise meetings through secure videoconference platforms’, and during the pandemic crisis ‘there was more close cooperation on updates that needed to be provided to the Government’. One of the interviewees defined the pandemic period as ‘a productive work period in terms of communication since the exchanges were multiplied between the entities, especially CSIRTs and LE. Cooperation with other communities was facilitated at the end. They had to adapt to the electronic means and work more hours but they adapted well in the new situation.’

text: 5. CONCLUSIONS AND WAYS FORWARD

text: 5.1. CONCLUSIONS

text: This report presents a methodology (based on desk research, interviews and compilation of a SoD matrix) to collect data on CSIRTs and LE cooperation, in particular their roles, synergies and interferences, competences and training initiatives related to cooperation between CSIRTs, LE and their interactions with the judiciary. This methodology has been used to collect data on some Member State/EFTA countries, namely Czechia, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Romania and Sweden. The results of this data collection and related analysis are presented in the report.

text: Using the analysis of the data collected, the conclusions summarised below were drawn. Some of these conclusions found clear confirmation in the discussions at the 9th ENISA/EC3 COVID-19 Workshop on CSIRT and LE cooperation that took place on 16 September 2020; this was an online event, by invitation only (ENISA, 2020). The pandemic crisis has changed the way  All countries analysed have signed the 2001 Council of Europe Convention on that CSIRTs, LE and Cybercrime and almost all of them have ratified it and the Additional Protocol on the the judiciary work and criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer interact together. In systems. Each country, however, has specific legislation on cybercrime, which is some instances, it has mandated through many different national laws and different criminal procedural law actually meant that governs investigations and the prosecution of (cyber)crime. increased interactions  All countries analysed have a NCSS, which sets up the general framework for the among the coordination and cooperation of all authorities and defines their roles and communities.. responsibilities.  In terms of incident response, in line with the NIS Directive, all countries analysed have established national CSIRTs. However, although there are similarities, the way they are organised and the position they have in the national institutional framework vary from country to country.  The way that LEAs dealing with cybercrime are organised also varies from country to country: some countries have specialised central cybercrime units, whereas others have decentralised specialised units or both.  The structure and organisation of the judiciary also vary by country: in some countries there are ‘specialised prosecutors or specialised structures within the Prosecution Services dealing with cybercrime offences’, while in other countries ‘the responsibility for dealing with such crimes usually lies “de facto” with specialised public prosecutors and judges, who have been trained or have experience in the area of cybercrime’ (Council of the European Union, 2017c).  Among the three communities – CSIRTs, LE and judiciary – different approaches and different levels of cooperation exist. While operational cooperation, especially in daily interactions and informal communication, seems to be well established, sometimes it appears that more structured cooperation would be useful in order to achieve a less fragmented information flow between the three communities. In addition, there is a bigger gap in the interaction between CSIRTs and the judiciary than in the cooperation established between LE and the judiciary.  LEAs are not solely involved in the detection and investigation of cybercrimes. A key component of their role is the preventive aspects of cybercrime, and it is here that

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: cooperation with other communities, particularly the CSIRT community, becomes apparent, to support preventive strategies.  CSIRTs and LEAs need to cooperate to decrease the risk of evidence being compromised or destroyed.  CSIRTs and LE also cooperate during the analysis of evidence.  CSIRTs play an important role in informing (potential) victims of cybercrime and in providing them with information on how to report a crime to the police.  CSIRTs may be called as witnesses in court, although this rarely happens.  Several competences are required for incident handling and cybercrime investigation; while each community has developed its own set of skills and knowledge, each could benefit from the competences of the other communities.  Some initiatives are in place to facilitate training within each community and some joint training takes place involving two of the communities (e.g. CSIRTs and LE, or LE and the judiciary); however, there is a need for further initiatives and for training and exercises that involve the three communities together.  The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary work together and interact. The greatest impact has been on training and workshop events, as well as meetings, which were cancelled in the early stages of the pandemic and later delivered online. As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued, the use of online tools to facilitate meetings and events has become the norm. Overall, there does not appear to have been a significant impact of the pandemic on the ability of the three communities to cooperate. In some instances, the level of vigilance and interaction among the communities has actually increased, with even daily interaction taking place, to ensure that each community is kept up to date.

text: 5.2. WAYS FORWARD 5.2.1. Use the methodology proposed to extend the analysis to additional countries

text: Additional EU and EFTA countries could be analysed using the methodology outlined in this report.

text: The methodology could be easily tailored and used to analyse cooperation between CSIRTs, LE and judiciary in countries other than EU Member State and EFTA countries, beginning with candidate countries, potential candidate countries and neighbouring countries of the EU ( ).

text: 5.2.2. Use the results to develop additional training material

text: In its continuous effort to provide training material for the CSIRT community, including on cooperation with the LE community and other operational communities (ENISA, n.d.), ENISA has developed a handbook and a toolset (ENISA, 2021) based on the results outlined in this current report. Additional training material could be developed based on the results of an analysis extended to additional EU Member States and EFTA countries, and possibly candidate countries, potential candidate countries and neighbouring countries of the EU.

text: 5.2.3. Use the results to develop a catalogue of competences across authorities in EU Member States and EFTA countries

text: A catalogue of the competences required during incident handling and cybercrime investigations, with an indication of the authorities in each Member State and EFTA country that could offer such competences, would help CSIRTs, LE and the judiciary become more aware of

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION

text: the skills and strengths of other communities in their country, and also across the EU and EFTA area. This would allow authorities to learn from each other’s initiatives and also facilitate the provision of expertise where required for incident handling and/or criminal investigation. Such a catalogue of competences could be developed using information collected using this methodology (slightly adapting the questionnaire and the SoD matrix, if necessary, to further focus on competences).

text: 5.2.4. Use the results to develop decision support systems

text: The results of an extended analysis could help complete the picture and serve as a basis for the development of decision support systems that a CSIRT, LE or judiciary authority could easily consult to obtain information on which authorities are responsible for, supporting, consulted about and informed about a specific duty related to fighting cybercrime in one or more countries (see Annex D for an example of how the SoD matrix can be used to develop a decision support system). These support systems can aid in decision-making and in taking actions in cases where the evidence is located in several countries.

text: 5.2.5. Organise joint training and exercises for the three communities

text: Although there might be organisational and legal constraints against the participation of the judiciary in joint training and exercises, wherever possible initiatives involving all three communities should take place. This would help the communities better understand each other’s capabilities, needs and boundaries, to enable them to better respond in practice to cyber incidents of a criminal nature by exploiting synergies and avoiding interferences.

text: D.1. Example of completed SoD matrix

text: In the following table, an indicative example of a SoD matrix, completed using the RSCI method, is presented. The broader scope of the SoD methodology on CSIRT–LE cooperation is to develop a decision support system that could provide information related to the authorities that can be contacted in the case of a cybersecurity incident/cybercrime. In particular, the user of such a decision support system should be able to find the appropriate contact (i.e. the authority or the community) who is responsible (R – as described in the RSCI method) for a specific duty.

text: For instance, someone who is responsible for collecting cyberthreat intelligence in Romania could use the SoD matrix to find who to contact, i.e. to find the CSIRT in Romania that is responsible for performing this specific duty.

text: The data in the following table were provided by the Member State representatives who participated in the interviews conducted for collecting data for this report. Although some interviewees provided their consent for their affiliation and country to be included in the report, information on countries and authorities have been removed from the table. A greater sample of replies is needed to validate the data collected during the interviews and to enable official results to be presented for each country.

text: E ANNEX: INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE

text: Questionnaire to Support the interviews with subject matter experts to collect data for the 2020 ENISA Report on CSIRTs and LE Cooperation. The questions below have been prepared to support the interviews with subject matter experts to collect data for the 2020 ENISA report on CSIRTs and LE cooperation along with their interaction with the judiciary. This report contributes to the implementation of the ENISA programming document 2020–2022 (https://www.enisa.europa.eu/publications/corporatedocuments/enisa-programming-document-202020132022) in particular “Output O.4.2.2 – Support the fight against cybercrime and collaboration across CSIRTs, LEA and other operational communities”. The report is expected to be ready for publication by the end of 2020. ENISA selected some external experts from the List of NIS Experts compiled following the ENISA Call for Expression of Interest (CEI) (Ref. ENISA M-CEI-17-T01) to support the data collection (including the interviews) and the drafting of this report. The expected duration of the interview is 1 hour. For more information regarding this questionnaire and the report, please contact: CSIRT-LEcooperation@enisa.europa.eu

What is the role of your organisation in fighting cybercrime activities? 2. Does your legal framework support the cooperation between CSIRT/LEA and the interaction/information flow with the judiciary (prosecutors and judges) in cybercrime proceedings and in general in responding to cybercrime? If so, how? 3. Regarding cybercrime cases, could you briefly describe how information is shared between CSIRTs – national and governmental in particular – LEAs, prosecutors and judges?

text: QUESTIONS ON SEGREGATION OF DUTIES (SOD) MATRIX

text: 4. Referring to the SoD matrix that was sent to you prior to this interview (and you can also find it in Annex I at the end of this questionnaire), could you fill it out by identifying for each duty which actor (CSIRT, LE, Prosecutors, Judges) in your country is:

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION Section 2: Questions on possible synergies and potential interferences 5. In your opinion, which are the possible synergies across CSIRT/LE and judiciary during the performance of their fighting cybercrime-related duties? Have you seen in reality such synergies taking place? Could you give us an example? In your opinion, which are the potential interferences across CSIRT/LE and judiciary during the performance of their fighting cybercrime-related duties? Have you seen in reality such interference taking place? Could you provide an example? Section 3 – Questions on challenges

text: 6. Are there any specific challenges that you would like to mention about cooperation across the CSIRT/LE and judiciary communities? If yes, what kind of challenges (e.g. legal, organisational, technical, cultural).

text: 7. Are there any challenges that you would like to mention in particular regarding digital forensics and electronic evidence (e-evidence)?

text: 8. What are the competencies that your organisation/community has and could share with the other communities (in particular CSIRT with LE/judiciary, LE with CSIRT, and judiciary with CSIRT)?

text: 9. Which competencies do you feel are lacking/could be improved in your

text: organisation/community and you might improve by learning from another

text: community (e.g. CSIRT from LE/judiciary, LE from CSIRT, and judiciary from CSIRT)

text: Does your organisation organise and/or participate in joint training across CSIRTs, LEAs and judiciary (prosecutor and judges) communities? If yes, do you find them useful?

text: 2020 REPORT ON CSIRT-LE COOPERATION 10. Section 5 – Question on COVID-19 pandemic crisis

text: 11. Has the COVID-19 pandemic crisis changed the way CSIRT/LE/judiciary work together? If yes, how so? Could you provide an example? (e.g. less meetings in person, but on the other hand more communication via email and over the phone)

text: 12. Do you think that a cybersecurity certification of forensic tools would help the CSIRT/LE/judiciary cooperation? (e.g. if CSIRTs use certified tools, the LE and Judiciary might trust more the data provided by CSIRT and use them more easily as evidence in court)

text: 13. Would you like to share any additional information or provide us with any comment?
