Fortinet signs threat
information sharing
agreement with
INTERPOL
ortinet has signed an agreement
to formalise its threat sharing
with INTERPOL. The goal
of the agreement is to proactively
combat cybercrime and threats to
privacy globally through the sharing
of threat information generated by
Fortinet FortiGuard Labs global threat
research team. Fortinet will be involved
in operational briefings at INTERPOL
and vice versa. A threat intelligence
expert from Fortinet will be assigned to
collaborate with experts at the INTERPOL
Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI),
helping provide a clearer understanding
of the current threat landscape, which
in turn will help the INTERPOL team and
law enforcement use the information to
prevent risks to security and privacy.
The agreement formalises the
cooperation between Fortinet and
INTERPOL after more than two years of
operational collaboration.
F
Silvino Schlickmann Jr, Acting Executive
Director, INTERPOL Global Complex for
Innovation, said: “Tackling cybercrime
cannot be resolved unilaterally by
law enforcement alone, but is a joint
responsibility which requires trusted
relationships with the private sector.”
Derek Manky, Global Security Strategist,
Fortinet, said: “Actionable threat
intelligence with global visibility is the
best way to move from being reactive to
proactive in a world where cybercrime
has no borders.”
