The discussion regarding the latest findings and comprehensive strategies for combating cybercrime is more important today than ever before. Cybercrimes, such as the infiltration of sensitive networks and the manipulation and encryption of critical data sets,, have devastating consequences worldwide. In a rapidly evolving digital world, cybercriminals are increasingly operating on an international scale and within organised structures. A swift and effective response to these new dimensions of cybercrime is urgently needed. It is essential to analyse the current threat landscape in the digital sphere precisely in order to effectively counter the methods of cybercriminals, particularly with regard to the use of innovations such as AI systems. In this workshop, cybersecurity experts will discuss the following questions:

• What current trends can be observed in the methods used by cybercriminals, particularly with regard to the use of AI?
• How can we learn from past cyber-attacks in order to develop effective long-term security standards?
• What specific measures are required at the political and operational levels to combat cybercrime effectively?
