As cybercrime continues to grow, law enforcement agencies worldwide face increased challenges in safeguarding organizations and individuals.

The European Cybercrime Centre was set up by Europol to strengthen the law enforcement response to cybercrime in the EU and thus to help protect European citizens, businesses and governments from online crime.

Through its specialized units and initiatives, INTERPOL provides support in investigating and prosecuting cybercrimes such as hacking, online fraud, identity theft, and cyberterrorism.

As the central agency of the German police, the Bundeskriminalamt performs coordinating tasks also in the field of cybercrime suppression; it provides information and tools and serves as a hub of international cooperation.

The division primarily responsible for conducting investigations in the field of cybercrime is Division CC - Cybercrime.

Swiss Federal Office of Police is responsible for combating cybercrime, detecting offences committed on the Internet, prosecuting serious cross-border crimes, coordinating and supporting investigation procedures on both national and international levels.
