Electronic Crime Partnership Initiative
Education and Training
Virtually everyone involved in cybercrime has a training need. At one end of the spectrum
there is a need for undergraduate and graduate programs to understand and develop
new science to combat cybercrime advances for skilled practitioners around the world. At
the other end is the need to instruct a first responder to do no harm and preserve the
evidence appropriately.
There is a rush to fill the apparent vacuum in education and training. There are actors
involved in every aspect of training ranging from respected universities to well-meaning
amateurs. The solution to training and education issues clearly requires close
cooperation between industry, law enforcement, academia, and professional
organizations. This working group will investigate three areas: training courses and
degree programs,multidisciplinary labs and research, and faculty development and
capacity building.
