Nisos Joins the Cybercrime Atlas

In a significant move aimed at enhancing the global fight against cybercrime, Nisos has announced its collaboration with the Cybercrime Atlas, a program hosted by the World Economic Forum (WEF). This partnership is focused on providing a human risk lens to cybercrime investigations, crucial for understanding and mitigating the impacts of cyber threats.

The Cybercrime Atlas operates through the WEF's Centre for Cybersecurity, utilizing open-source research to generate actionable insights about the cybercriminal ecosystem. This initiative is selective, with membership extended strictly by invitation, ensuring that only pivotal organizations are included. Participants in this community are essential in identifying and dismantling cybercriminal networks, thus facilitating a proactive approach in dealing with cyber threats.

Ryan LaSalle, CEO of Nisos, emphasized the organization’s distinct ability to uncover the human element behind digital threats, stating, "Our 'superpower' lies in identifying the individuals behind digital and human risks. Joining the Cybercrime Atlas aligns seamlessly with our mission to equip companies with the insights necessary to defend themselves more effectively. We're honored to engage with other members to disrupt the global cybercrime landscape."

A common challenge in dealing with cybercrime is that while its impact is global, knowledge and responses are often fragmented and localized. This disjointed approach hampers the effectiveness of counter-measures against transnational cybercriminal activities. The Cybercrime Atlas aims to bridge this gap by promoting cooperation among various stakeholders, including investigators, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and businesses on both national and international fronts.

Seán Doyle, who leads the Cybercrime Atlas at WEF, elaborated on the initiative’s mission. He noted, "The Cybercrime Atlas leverages open-source research alongside the expertise of industry leaders to map cybercrime networks effectively. The insights generated are integral in fostering greater cooperation between the private and public sectors to combat cybercrime."

As cyber threats continue to advance and evolve, the collaboration between Nisos and the Cybercrime Atlas embodies a strategic approach to fortify cybersecurity measures globally. The initiative aims to build an action-oriented repository of intelligence on cybercrime, creating a comprehensive resource that will enable more informed responses to cyber threats.

By sharing knowledge and collaborative resources, this partnership sets the stage for a more unified and effective global response to cybercrime. Nisos, with its trusted digital investigation services, is well-positioned to contribute to this important initiative that not only protects organizations from potential threats but also enhances the overall safety and security of digital ecosystems.
