mnemonic appointed seat in Europol’s Advisory Group for Internet Security
Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) has appointed mnemonic as a member of the EC3 Advisory Group for Internet Security. The appointment expands the collaboration efforts between mnemonic and Europol’s EC3 in the joint public-private fight against cybercrime.
mnemonic and Europol EC3 signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2014 and mnemonic has since worked closely with Europol’s EC3, including sharing threat intelligence information and providing supplementary intelligence data for several of Europol’s operations.
Martin Eian Ph.D will represent mnemonic on the Advisory Group for Internet Security on an initial 2-year term.
“The appointment to the advisory group is an acknowledgement of Dr. Martin Eian’s competence and confirms mnemonic’s commitment in the fight against cybercrime,” says Jørn Tore Hov at mnemonic.
With a view of getting a clear overview of the needs and priorities for internet security in the context of the cross-border fight against cybercrime, the purpose of the Advisory Group is to:
- bring knowledge and expertise to the Programme Board on matters related to internet security;
- update and share all relevant information and expertise on developments in the area of internet security;
- assist the Programme Board in defining priorities for the work of EC3 in this area, including by advising on the cooperation the with CERTs and other relevant partners and on developing concepts for enhanced prevention of cybercrime;
- assist the EC3 Programme Board in striking the right balance between disruption and prevention on the one hand and investigation and prosecution on the other hand.
The Programme Board may also consult the group on any matter relating to internet security in relation to the fight against cybercrime.
