Kaspersky Lab has announced that Chairman and CEO, Eugene Kaspersky will be speaking at the 82nd INTERPOL General Assembly next week. The annual gathering of INTERPOL’s supreme governing body, bringing together representatives from all member countries, will be held in Cartagena, Colombia, on October 21-24, 2013. Eugene’s presentation will address a wide range of problems in connection with cybercrime, including how international cooperation can help in tackling it.
On the sidelines of the summit, Eugene will be comparing notes with INTERPOL’s leaders and meeting top law enforcers from all around the world.
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. And Kaspersky Lab would welcome other security vendors – including our direct competitors – to join in, as together we can make a bigger difference, better protect the world, and more effectively fight back against the bad guys.”
He also said how glad he was that Kaspersky Lab has such strong ties with INTERPOL.
