Trend Micro has announced a three-year agreement with international police organisation, Interpol, to help support its 190 member countries with additional knowledge, resources and tactics to decrease cybercrime on a global scale.
“We are proud to support Interpol in its vital role combatting cybercrime across the globe,” says Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro. “Our partnership with Interpol will provide tools, training and human resources to strengthen its team’s capability to fight criminal activity around the world.”
Over the next three years, Trend Micro will share its threat information analysis with Interpol officers through its Trend Micro Threat Intelligence Service. The goal of this initiative is to investigate, deter and ultimately prevent cybercrimes. This effort will also help to bridge the gap in information sharing between the public and private sectors.
“As the world’s largest international police organisation, Interpol has a responsibility to forge partnerships across all sectors to ensure our member countries have access to the tools and resources they need to assist investigators to prevent and solve crimes,” says Interpol secretary-general Ronald Noble. “Trend Micro’s strong support for the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation will enable us to leverage their expertise in supporting each of our 190 member countries in their efforts to combat cyber threats.”
Trend Micro will also assist Interpol in providing a cybercrime investigation-training programme to improve techniques and increase capabilities of member countries conducting a growing number of investigations. To support these new initiatives, a Trend Micro security researcher will be onsite at the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) in Singapore.
