Singapore sources have stated that intensifying the fight against cyber crime, networking giant Cisco and international police organization Interpol on Tuesday announced an agreement to share threat intelligence. Accordingly the alliance added that this not only will allow for quick threat detection around the world but also pave the way for potential future collaboration on training and knowledge sharing.
Noboru Nakatani, Executive Director of the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) in Singapore stated "The exchange of information and expertise between the public and private sectors is vital in combating cyber crime," which serves as Interpol's global cyber crime centre. He added "Interpol's agreement with Cisco provides us, and law enforcement in our 192 member countries, with access to important cyber threat information which will help us not only detect attacks but also help prevent them”.
John Stewart said "As cyber crime continues to
escalate around the world, defenders from both the public and private sectors
must meet the threat with equal force. Moreover visibility and comprehensive
threat intelligence across the cyber domain are critical to enable detection,
analysis and protection against emerging threats”.
