Business Wire
McAfee, now part of Intel Security, and Europol's European
Cybercrime Centre (EC3) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) that brings together Intel Security expertise with EC3’s law
enforcement skills in the war against cybercrime.
Intel Security and EC3’s combined resources and expertise will
offer increased defense against the growing cybercrime threat. The
agreement enables the two entities to engage in joint operations to
address identified cybercriminal campaigns, and allows for
participation in events to share best practices as well as the
ability to exchange non-operational data related to cybercrime. The
MoU will also allow for Intel Security to provide specific
technical information on cyber-attacks to Europol.
“Cybercrime has advanced to a degree that no one entity can
combat it alone,” said Raj Samani, chief technology officer for
EMEA at Intel Security and special advisor to the EUROPOL
Cybercrime Centre on Internet Security . “I’m excited to work with
the excellent team Europol and contribute expertise so that we can
together to effectively address the cybercrime problem.”
Troels Oerting, Head of the EC3 said, “Today we add the
resources of Intel Security to our list of capabilities dedicated
to protecting our digital lives. This task cannot be done by law
enforcement alone, and requires a much broader approach. Intel
Security has assisted the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in the
past and, with the signing of this MoU, our cooperation will
continue to the benefit of all law-abiding users of the Internet
and to the disadvantage of cybercriminals.”
