CICC trains law enforcement in digital forensics

The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) will conduct a training program to enhance the digital investigation capabilities of various law enforcement agencies across the Philippines.

The initiative, titled 'Safe Seizure, Storage, and Acquisition of Digital Evidence,' will take place from March 24 to 26 and focuses on digital forensics – the process of identifying, preserving, and examining digital evidence.

The training will benefit agents from the PNP, NBI, ACG, and AFP, aiming to improve the resolution of cybercrime cases and the prosecution of offenders.

CICC Executive Director Alexander Ramos emphasized the necessity of integrating digital forensics due to the rising number of cybercrime complaints.

The program is being conducted in partnership with Astria Corporation and will be led by forensic expert Jonathan Sharter, who brings 18 years of global experience.

This collaboration highlights the CICC's commitment to providing Philippine law enforcement with advanced tools and training to combat evolving cyber threats.

Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen the Philippines' ability to address digital-enabled criminality effectively.
