Kaspersky strengthens cooperation with INTERPOL in fighting cybercrime
Digital Edge Bureau 03 Jul, 2019 0 comment(s)Extending further the existing working relationship between Russia’s Kaspersky Lab and INTERPOL, the two entities have signed a contribution agreement under which Kaspersky would provide human resources support, training, and threat intelligence data on the latest cybercriminal activities to the global policing establishment.
The signing ceremony has taken place at INTERPOL World 2019, which is currently underway in Singapore. Eugene Kaspersky, CEO, Kaspersky Lab, and Tim Morris, Executive Director of Police Service at INTERPOL, solemnized the agreement.
“With the rise of sophisticated threat actors, collaboration across the ecosystem and the sharing of expertise is more crucial than ever. We’re excited to continue the partnership with INTERPOL and to empower law enforcers with the information and technology needed to combat cybercrime across the globe,” said Eugene Kaspersky, CEO, Kaspersky Lab.
This cooperation strengthens the existing relationship between the two organizations, ensuring information and technology sharing can support INTERPOL in cybercrime-related investigations. Within the new agreement, Kaspersky will share information about its cyberthreat research and provide the necessary tools to assist with full digital forensics, aimed at strengthening efforts on the prevention of cyberattacks.
The company recently announced an advanced free service for Law Enforcement Agencies, aimed at increasing the awareness of how Kaspersky services operate and how they can help fight cybercrime and sophisticated cyberthreats.
