29 Oct How Interpol is adapting to the ever-evolving cybercrime landscape
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Oct. 29, 2024
With 100 years of history, Interpol is the police organization par excellence, bringing together 196 countries in the fight against crime. But in this century, crime has undergone a transformation, with new technologies added to the mix, giving rise to cybercrime, one of Interpol’s main battles today.
Computerworld Spain spoke to Neal Jetton, head of Interpol’s cybercrime unit, at the Global Cybersecurity Forum held last month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “If you look at the total cost of cybercrime, it will exceed $10.5 trillion by 2025 [according to Cybersecurity Ventures],” said Jetton. So you have to try to attract enough skilled people to fight these crimes using emerging technologies. You have to put everyone on the same playing field because cybercriminals have an advantage in tools like artificial intelligence (AI). And in the future, there will be quantum computing.
When Jetton was asked about collaboration between the public and private sector, he replied “No single agency, country, or company can combat international cybercrime in a silo. It takes a team effort, and this requires collaboration between law enforcement and the private sector.”
