APTCC

The ASEAN Plus Three Cybercrime Conference (APTCC) served as a capacity building activity under the SOMTC+3 Consultation framework, which Concept Note was adopted ad referendum on 19 July 2023. The Conference contributed to the implementation of the cybercrime component of the SOMTC Work Programme 2022-2024 and the transnational crime component of the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) Cooperation Work Plan 2023-2027.

APTCC provides a platform for ASEAN cybercrime agencies to take stock of new and emerging cybercrime threats in ASEAN and to exchange information with the Plus Three Dialogue Partners (People's Republic of China, Japan and Republic of Korea) on the latest prevention measures, law and regulatory policies; as well as best practices on cybercrime forensics and investigations to strengthen ASEAN's overall cybercrime response. The APTCC started as a workshop in 2016, followed by in-person conferences in 2018 and 2019 and a virtual conference in 2021.
