What measures Austria has implemented in its

country to reduce cyber crime ??

Me as the delegate of Austria would like to share that as of 2013,
the Austrian government led by the Federal Chancellery
continues to invest heavily in increasing cyber resources at
federal, regional, and provincial levels. In July 2020, the Austrian
government established a Joint Cybersecurity Center bringing
together resources from the Federal Chancellery, Ministry of
Defense, and Ministry of Interior. In October 2020, the Federal
Criminal Police Office announced to double the number of local IT
investigators to probe cybercrime cases more effectively, followed
by an announcement of the Federal Chancellery’s Cybercrime
Competence (C4) in November 2021 to double its IT
investigators.

Public-private partnerships are also playing an increasing role in

Austria’s cybersecurity landscape. For example, in November
2020, the Technical University Graz announced the opening of a
non-profit Cybersecurity Campus Graz in partnership with Swiss
private inspection and testing firm SGS Group. The new campus
established a research, education, testing, and certification hub in
the Southern region of Austria with 400 employees.

Also many companies in my country have been advised if victims

of cyber crime they can further work upon criminal court
proceedings. The company can participate in the criminal
proceeding as a "private party" to request compensation for the
damages caused by the perpetrator without any court fees. Public
prosecutors and courts may apply investigative measures which
are not available to the company itself, such as house searches
or requesting information on IP addresses from communication
service providers.
With the rise of cyber threats, my government is also actively
improving its cybersecurity awareness outreach to the public
through alerts about phishing/malware threats and the launch of
an end-user-focused cybersecurity awareness app.

With the support of the Cyber Security Steering Group, a

comprehensive report analyzing the need to establish additional
legal principles, regulatory measures, and voluntary self-
commitment (codes of conduct) for guaranteeing cyber security in
Austria has been prepared and submitted to the Federal
Government. This report has covered issues such as the
establishment of necessary organizational structures, tasks and
powers of authorities, information exchange between authorities
and private entities, reporting duties, obligation to adopt protective
measures as well as supply chain security.

With this I would like to say my country is further improving their

laws and regulations regarding cyber security.
