DALLAS, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro
Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global leader in security
software and solutions, today announced a three-year agreement with
INTERPOL to help support the international police organization and
its 190 member countries with additional knowledge, resources and
tactics to decrease cybercrime on a global scale.
"We are proud to support INTERPOL in their vital role combatting
cybercrime across the globe," said Eva
Chen, CEO, Trend Micro. "Our partnership with INTERPOL will
provide tools, training and human resources to strengthen their
team's capability to fight criminal activity around the world."
Over the next three years, Trend Micro will share its threat
information analysis with INTERPOL officers through its Trend
Micro™ Threat Intelligence Service. The goal of this initiative is
to investigate, deter and ultimately prevent cybercrimes. This
effort will also help to bridge the gap in information-sharing
between the public and private sectors.
"As the world's largest international police organization,
INTERPOL has a responsibility to forge partnerships across all
sectors to ensure our member countries have access to the tools and
resources they need to assist investigators to prevent and solve
crimes," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble. "Trend Micro's strong support
for the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation will enable us to
leverage their expertise in supporting each of our 190 member
countries in their efforts to combat cyber threats," added the
INTERPOL Chief.
Trend Micro will also assist INTERPOL in providing a cybercrime
investigation training program to improve techniques and increase
capabilities of member countries conducting a growing number of
investigations. To support these new initiatives, a Trend Micro
security researcher will be onsite at the INTERPOL Global Complex
for Innovation (IGCI) in Singapore.
Trend Micro products which will be available to INTERPOL for use
at the IGCI, and beyond, include OfficeScan™, InterScan™ Web
Security and PortalProtect™ to secure portals and endpoints;
ScanMail™ Suite and InterScan™ Messaging Security to provide secure
communications; and Deep Security™ to protect web-based
applications.
This agreement was commemorated during a formal signing ceremony
held at the ICGI today. During the INTERPOL-Europol Cybercrime
conference 2014 (1 – 3 October), Trend Micro's CTO, Raimund Genes, will deliver a keynote address,
and Robert McArdle from Trend
Micro's forward threat research team will present a case study
detailing the application of the company's technology in cybercrime
investigations.
