TTPs-Based Framework to Combat Cybercrime Targeting Humans

September 14, 2023

A groundbreaking approach to cybercrime investigation, the TTPs-based cybercrime investigation framework, promises to transform the detection and prosecution of cybercriminals. This framework, designed to combat cyberattacks targeting individuals, offers the ability to categorize cybercrimes, trace evidential chains, and systematically map evidence for successful convictions.

Cybercrime Landscape in India

Cybercrimes in India inflict daily financial losses, primarily affecting women, the elderly, and economically disadvantaged individuals. However, the number of investigations lags behind the reports due to low cyber literacy among victims.

Development and Support

The TTPs-based cybercrime investigation framework was developed by IIT Kanpur’s c3ihub with support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The DST’s involvement was under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems (NM-ICPS).

Primary Objective

The primary goal of the TTPs-based cybercrime investigation framework is to track, categorize, and systematically map evidence to facilitate the conviction of cybercriminals, particularly those targeting individuals.

Crucial Need in India

The framework’s development addresses critical challenges faced by cybercrime investigations in India, including low cyber literacy among victims and a lack of comprehensive investigative methodologies.

Enhanced Efficiency

By focusing on cybercriminals’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), the framework streamlines investigations, leading to precise and rapid convictions, thus significantly bolstering cybercrime-fighting efforts.

Expected Impact

Upon implementation with law enforcement agencies, the TTPs-based cybercrime investigation framework is expected to simplify tracking and convictions of cybercriminals, ultimately reducing cybercrime activities across the country.
