Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the service-based underground industry that fuels cybercrime, turning it into a growth business in terms of scope and volume of attacks, number of victims and economic damage. It argues for a networked, intelligence-led, adaptive and proactive response, looking specifically at the role of law enforcement. Prioritised and coordinated joint actions against the key cyber threats supported by adequate legislation can change the rules of the game by increasing the risks for cybercriminals and imposing real consequences. Effective prevention and disruption activities can further tip the scales to the detriment of criminals. The multistakeholder model used by Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre is presented as an example of how this can be put in practice, including some examples of international operations that leverage the power of the network.
