Day 2 - Community Event Wrap‑Up🌍 EACTDA sessions within the Community Event brought the conference to a focused and collaborative close. 🛠️ The Tool Showroom enabled practical exploration of innovative tools and direct exchanges between practitioners and developers. 📌 Alongside this, we held our EUAB meeting, providing a dedicated forum for strategic alignment and discussion on shared EU‑level priorities. 🔗 The Community Event was wrapped up with CYCLOPES final workshop on the future of cybercrime, followed by closing reflections on key insights and the road ahead. Thank you to all participants for your valuable contributions, it definitely made this event both strong and meaningful. ECTEG CYCLOPES - Cybercrime Law Enforcement Practitioners' Network Europol Looking ahead—together. 🚀✨

📜 As Francisco de Quevedo famously said, “only the fool confuses value and price.” 💡 This idea applies perfectly to the Tools4LEAs initiative. All Tools4LEAs solutions are offered at no license cost and with access to the source code (when duly justified) for their intended endusers: public entities across the EU and Schengen Area working to combat cybercrime. 💼 But “no price” does not mean “no value”. On the contrary — these tools were selected directly by endusers to address operational needs they themselves identified. 🛡️ If you are a practitioner fighting cybercrime within a public entity in the EU or Schengen Area, register on the EACTDA Portal to access the full suite of Tools4LEAs tools. Several tools are also available via Europol’s ETR. 🔗 More info on our website https://lnkd.in/eC9s4zeV #EmpoweringCollaboration #EnsuringSustainability #ContributingToASaferEurope 💪🔐 #Tools4LEAs #Europol #EACTDA
