On July 3, Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky, and Tim Morris, Executive 
Director of Police Service at INTERPOL, signed a contribution agreement under 
which Kaspersky will provide human resources support, training, and threat 
intelligence data on the latest cybercriminal activities to INTERPOL, 
strengthening the organisation's cyberthreat hunting capabilities. The signing 
ceremony took place at INTERPOL World 2019, which is currently underway in 
Singapore. 

This cooperation strengthens the existing relationship between the two 
organisations, 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. 

"With the rise of sophisticated threat actors, collaboration across the 
ecosystem and the sharing of expertise is more crucial than ever. We are 
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 of Kaspersky, following the ceremony.

Kaspersky recognises the borderless nature of cybercrime and regularly 
participates in joint operations and cyberthreat investigations with the global 
IT security community, international organisations such as INTERPOL, law 
enforcement agencies and CERTs worldwide. The first among cybersecurity 
vendors, 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. More information about the service can be found here(
