Preventing Radicalisation Online through the Proliferation of Harmonised ToolkitS

Project description

New model against cybercrime and digital radicalisation

Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and security policymakers encounter numerous challenges when it comes to preventing cybercriminal activities and digital radicalisation. To tackle these challenges, the EU-funded PROPHETS project aims to develop a comprehensive and adaptive SECURITY MODEL at the European level. This model will rely on the interaction of human factors within the evolving cyber ecosystem. The primary focus of the model will be on addressing the four fundamental dimensions of cybercrime, including early threat identification, conducting investigations within a new public-private governance framework, dealing with the increasing complexity of responses due to the expansion of the security perimeter into new societal domains and the emergence of jurisdictional problems, and analysing citizens' perception of security and freedom.

Objective

PROPHETS will look at redefining new methods to prevent, investigate and mitigate cybercriminal behaviours through the development of a coherent, EU-wide, adaptive SECURITY MODEL, built upon the interplay of the human factors within the new cyber ecosystem and capable of addressing the four fundamental dimensions at the core of the phenomenon: 1. early identification of security threats; 2. investigations within a new public-private governance; 3. Increased complexity of the response due to the expansion of the security perimeter towards new societal fields and the emergence of challenging jurisdictional problems; and, last but not least, 4. perception of security and freedoms among citizens, which requires a new communication strategy for LEAs and security policy makers.
