EACTDA, the Tools4LEAs project, and the EU Security Research
Published: 2022-02-11
EACTDA and the Tools4LEAs project are a direct consequence and result of the EU Security Research ecosystem. Under the umbrella of the EU H2020 programme, a security research project called ASGARD was where the idea of EACTDA and the Tools4LEAs project was conceived.
The ASGARD project proofed as valid a new way of conducting security research projects, with a large representation of end-users as part of the Consortium, with "short"(er) development cycles, with six-monthly "hackathon" and "capture-the-flag" events at which new tools were presented, demonstrate, and evaluated by the end-user, so that further developments could be done, by delivering results (software solutions) with no license costs to EU public security organisations, ... and with the continuous support of the European Commission and many other relevant stakeholders.
EACTDA and the Tools4LEAs project give continuation to the methodology validated in the ASGARD project, focusing on cybercrime and on the uptake of security research results, so that EU public security practitioner organisations could received fully-tested and operational-ready solutions with no license cost and with access to the source code.
But EACTDA and the Tools4LEAs project cannot succeed without the collaboration and participation of many other relevant public and private organisations. Therefore, it is essential that robust, effective, and efficient collaboration frameworks are established with these key stakeholders. A non-exhaustive list of them includes EC DG HOME, Europol, CEPOL, ECTEG, FREETOOL, i-LEAD, ILEAnet, ...
The journey started this way... but there is still lots of work to do!

"EACTDA - UDeusto Lab"
Published: 2022-01-24
EACTDA is happy to announce that it has signed a collaboration agreement with the University of Deusto, in San Sebastián, Spain. The agreement includes the creation of a Technological Space named "Deusto - EACTDA Lab" that will facilitate trainees to gain experience in the field of technology development that will serve European law enforcement agencies and other public organisations, in their fight against cybercrime.
Through the so-called space, EACTDA offers a frame in which the students can complete their training, and what is more important, acquire real work experience by being part of cutting- edge technology development projects.
The work at the "Deusto - EACTDA Lab" will focus on the development of fully-tested and operational ready software solutions. The trainees will conduct applied research and development activities to ensure that the tools delivered are of the highest quality and appropriate for the needs of its intended end-users.
The agreement has been signed for the next three academic years and it also contemplates the possibility of conducting training activities and the development of informative and educative contents.
This collaboration agreement with UDeusto is the first of a series of agreements with European universities, all of them intended to establish long-lasting collaborative frameworks between the Association and innovative and leading universities.
