Eugene Kaspersky said, “Global cooperation in fighting and preventing cybercrime is essential if we want to have a safer world tomorrow. Cyber threats are growing both in number and sophistication, so it’s of vital importance for the whole world to be prepared for targeted attacks from criminals, hacktivists and even terrorists. Not long ago, things like terror cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure were something unthinkable; now we believe they represent a tangible threat.”

He added, “I think that this partnership with INTERPOL will help in moving us a step closer to a more secure world, and I’m proud to be a part of this initiative. We strongly believe that such a public-private project brings significant benefits for the whole global community.
