Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder
Kaspersky Lab
“I am
most pleased with the outcome of this meeting. I have been pushing for the
creation of what I used to call an ‘Internet-INTERPOL’ for over a decade now,
and at last it has finally come to pass. It should come as no surprise that we
wholeheartedly support this initiative, testified to by our plans to second
some of our top analysts over to the IGCI in Singapore. Soon cybercriminals
will have nowhere to hide - not able to hole up in this or that country, as
they have been able to up to now. The net is closing in on cybercriminals -
both the proverbial one and the Inter-net.”
Noboru Nakatani, Executive Director
IGCI
“The strong support for the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation expressed by Eugene Kaspersky, the founder and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, will provide law enforcement in our 190 member countries with the expertise to generate actionable intelligence to protect cyberspace and to bring cybercriminals to justice.”
Ronald Noble, Secretary General
INTERPOL
“Transnational crime cannot be fought in isolation, and drawing on private sector expertise and support against cybercrime is essential. Fighting cybercrime requires that law enforcement at both the national and international levels works with the private sector, particularly its forward-thinking technological leaders such as Kaspersky Lab, in order to keep pace with today's cybercriminals.”
