barriers, requires close cooperation of the EU and NATO Member States and international cooperation with third countries, for the purpose of timely identification of every new form or threat, as well as their source, and in order for the response to a certain threat to follow as quickly as possible. It is therefore necessary to use the available possibilities of the existing cooperation models through contact points and the possibilities of swift information sharing through the channels of Europol, Eurojust and other international organisations. Objective E.3 Good inter-institutional cooperation for efficient information exchange at national level, especially in case of computer security incident. A computer security incident requires quick and adequate treatment. It is necessary to establish high quality coordination of all the bodies that can contribute in a particular case. The existence of permanent “contact points” would contribute to direct and effective communication and thus also to the prevention and more efficient treatment of the incident. Objective E.4 Strengthening human resources, adequate development of relevant state bodies’ competences and technical capabilities for discovering, conducting criminal investigation and prosecuting criminal cases in cybercrime domain, along with securing the necessary funding. The development of electronic communication infrastructure and introduction of new innovative services is accompanied by the emergence of new, increasingly sophisticated ways of committing criminal offences in cybercrime domain. These processes require continued strengthening of human resources, appropriate upgrading of forensic tools and systems, and systems for secret surveillance of electronic communication networks and services. Objective E.5 Encouragement and constant development of cooperation with economic sector. Encouragement and constant development of cooperation with the economic sector (especially with the national regulatory authorities and legal entities in the public electronic communications sector and the sector of electronic financial services), as well as information sharing about all the new computer security incidents that have been registered, to enable the economic sector to recognise a potential incident that could constitute a criminal offence and update its own security system in a timely manner, and to enable the state administration bodies to promptly react to a possible criminal offence. Additionally, good cooperation with the economic sector should be used to stimulate communication aimed at educating the end users of certain services, thus directly contributing to the prevention of a particular cybercrime occurrence. 17 of 31
