Picture of the cyberincident situation, broken down by event: The NCSC's
national contact point will record the incidents received and exchange
information with the police authorities' contact points.
The legal framework for sharing information between the contact point and the
prosecution authorities must be clarified.
Case overview on reports of offences received and on ongoing police and
judicial proceedings: Legal and technical conditions will be created to enable
centralised recording of reports of criminal offences received relating to
cyberincidents and of ongoing proceedings.
Confederation: fedpol, OAG, NCSC
Cantons: cantonal police corps and public prosecutor's offices, CCJPD, NEDIK,
CSPP, PTI
M14 Training of prosecution authorities
Descriptio
n
Basic cybercrime training takes place in police training colleges and at the Swiss
Police Institute (SPI). In French-speaking Switzerland, training is also provided by
the École romande de la magistrature pénale (ERMP), part of the Institut de lutte
contre la criminalité économique (ILCE).
In addition to this specific training, many courses offered by universities and
universities of applied sciences are relevant to employees of prosecution
authorities. There is also training provision for public prosecutors, judges and court
clerks. The platform cyberpie.ch was established on behalf of the Conference of
Cantonal Police Commanders of Switzerland (CCPCS) to provide an overview of
relevant training opportunities. In addition, NEDIK organises several training
courses for specialists each year according to current needs and runs a national
knowledge platform called CyberWiki. SCP provides the cantonal police forces with
case-specific brochures containing information on the individual phenomena,
thereby furthering the training of police employees.
It is important to continue promoting the training of judicial and prosecution
authorities, building on these existing opportunities. In addition, the sharing of
experience between prosecution authorities, as well as between prosecution
authorities and the business community, must be further strengthened, since a
great deal of knowledge can be imparted in this way as well. The Swiss Police
Institute should be able to play a central role in coordinating this.
Priorities
Cybercrime encompasses very different offences, which are often not easy to
define and delimit and which are committed using ever-changing methods. This
makes dealing with cyberoffences challenging for prosecution authorities. It must
be ensured that all levels of criminal prosecution have the required knowledge of
cybercrime to perform their respective tasks.
Background and
need for action
Overview of measure
-
Further development of training provision: The existing provision will be kept
under constant review to ensure that it meets the relevant needs. It will be
clarified how new training offers can be created in case of additional need.
Sharing experience: The exchange of knowledge between prosecution
authorities will be fostered through internships, expert pools or online platforms.
