Official Journal consequently, the possibility to bring perpetrators to justice. The study shows that Child Protection Units and other professionals dealing with child protection online need capacity development and support in handling online child abuse. Besides, there are no specific online child abuse data that have been collected or published. 2.4. Education, research, and training in the field of cybersecurity In developing countries, human resources with adequate skills and qualifications in cybersecurity have proven to be one of the most difficult challenges as regards the implementation of a national level CSIRT and the improvement of the overall national cybersecurity situation. Ensuring an adequate level of education, research, and training on online safety, and supporting the internal needs of professionals regarding cybersecurity is critical. Several study programs in the field of cybersecurity are offered by higher education institutions, but they are in their first steps and more effort is required to reach an adequate level. Besides, no cybersecurity research initiatives have been undertaken in Albania. The knowledge gained by students in universities is insufficient to meet labor market requirements in this field. Furthermore, even academic staff has its issues in covering the entire range of this field. As a result, developing appropriate cybersecurity curricula and enhancing academic staff knowledge is an immediate necessity to meet market demand. On the other hand, human resources capacity development through dedicated training in the cybersecurity field in the public administration and all other public sectors is another necessity that public institutions should consider. Besides, a common approach is required for the education of the government staff and the public regarding safer practices on cybersecurity awareness. 3.
