It would be equally important to establish a reporting mechanism of cybercrime incidents for individuals and for public and private sector organisations. In order to assist law enforcement investigations, the police forces need to have special cybercrime or high-tech crime units with dedicated computer crime experts. The experts should master a certain level of knowledge on how to collect evidence and should be supported by computer forensic experts. The operational police units should be supported by the similar units within judiciary authorities for efficient prosecution.
Law enforcement needs to prevent cybercrime, and governments need to raise the resilience of critical national cyber assets in order to raise the costs for attackers and protect security interests of the country. In the end, most preventive measures will be very similar and there are common requirements, guidelines and practices that all nations follow when building national cyber systems. 5 National Policies and Organisational Measures to Address Cyber Threats 23 This chapter will discuss the policies and organisational countermeasures that are needed for successful fight with cyber threats at national level, including botnet mitigation.
