4.2.2 REDUCING CYBER CRIME We need to raise the cost, raise the risk, and reduce the reward of cyber criminals’ activity. While we must harden Sierra Leone against cyber-attacks and reduce vulnerabilities, we must also focus relentlessly on pursuing criminals who continue to target CIRT-SL. Law enforcement agencies will focus their efforts on pursuing the criminals who persist in attacking SL’s citizens and businesses. We will work with domestic and international partners to target criminals wherever they are located, and to dismantle their infrastructure and facilitation networks. Law enforcement agencies will also continue to help raise awareness and standards of cyber security, in collaboration with the CIRT-SL. We will reduce the impact of cybercrime on Sierra Leone and its interests by deterring cyber criminals from targeting Sierra Leone and relentlessly pursuing those who persist in attacking us. To reduce the impact of cybercrime, we will:  enhance the law enforcement capabilities and skills at national, regional and local level to identify, pursue, prosecute and deter cyber criminals within Sierra Leone and overseas;  build a better understanding of the cybercrime business model, so we know where to target interventions in order to have the most disruptive effect on criminal activity;  deter individuals from being attracted to, or becoming involved in, cybercrime by building on our early intervention measures;  enhance collaborations with industry to provide them with proactive intelligence on the threat, and to provide us with the upstream intelligence that they possess, in order to assist with our upstream disruption efforts;  develop a 24/7 reporting and triage capability in Action Fraud, linked to the CIRT-SL, the crime agencies and the wider law enforcement community, to improve support to victims of cybercrime, to provide a faster response to reported crimes and enhanced protective security advice.;  work with the CIRT-SL and the private sector to reduce vulnerabilities in Sierra Leone infrastructure that could be exploited at scale by cyber criminals; and  Work with the finance sector to make Sierra Leone a more hostile environment for those seeking to monetize stolen credentials, including by disrupting their networks.
