As Team Cymru’s strategic partner in Latin America and the Caribbean, LACNIC is constantly looking for ways to cooperate in helping prevent the proliferation of cybercrime and coordinating actions with global organizations to help the regional community make the Internet a safer place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacomo\nPiccolini of Team Cymru highlighted the partnership with LACNIC and noted that\nthis organization has been fighting and pursuing cybercriminals for fifteen\nyears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to\nTeam Cymru, there are approximately 500,000 malicious events per second on the\nInternet involving security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who is Team Cymru and what are its\nobjectives\/goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2005, Team Cymru\u2019s mission has been to save and improve lives by working with public and private sector entities to discover, track, and take down threat actors and criminals around the globe. We do this by delivering comprehensive visibility into global Internet traffic and cyber threat activity. Team Cymru collects, processes and aggregates global netflow and 50+ other types of data to give our clients Pure Signal\u2122. This provides the broadest visibility into malicious activity across the Internet. We see more than 500,000 events per second and deliver that information to our users in an actionable way. The most advanced cybersecurity teams and investigators around the world rely on our solutions to uncover the who, what, when, where and why of malicious behavior. They also leverage this global visibility to identify and block malicious campaigns before they even reach an enterprise\u2019s doorstep. Our data is incomparable – Pure Signal\u2122 – and our partners and clients use it to make the world a safer place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who is part of this group of experts\nthat analyze the main Internet security challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Team Cymru is a multicultural company\nwith employees around the globe who share the same passion — to make the\nInternet a safer environment for everyone, including our families, companies\nand countries. Every employee at Team Cymru shares in our mission, from a\ndeveloper who works on our sandbox code to make the analysis of malware\npossible to our intelligence analyst who investigates cyber threats and cybercrimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the complexity of the current\ncrimes on the internet? How much have cybercriminals advanced?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a great question with hours of\nconversation needed for a proper understanding of the complexity being faced by\nenterprises as each enterprise is unique and the cyber threats they face are\nconstantly evolving. Cybercriminals evolve, and evolve fast, as the security\nmarket responds to their threats. This requires a constant pursuit of\nknowledge, training and information sharing. A specific tool or protection that\nworked last year may not be as effective this year. This is why Team Cymru\nworks to deliver visibility into internet activity beyond an organization\u2019s\nperimeter. The traditional methods of collecting threat intelligence and\ninvestigating threats limit an organization to seeing only what is happening\nwithin the enterprise. Threat hunting and incident investigations stop at the\nfirewall unless you have the visibility we provide. Also, everybody talks about\nrisk-based security and the idea that cybersecurity should be approached from\nthe perspective of risk management. Well, if you can\u2019t see what\u2019s happening\nbeyond your own backyard, you do not have the situational awareness necessary\nto achieve effective risk-based security. We aggregate 50+ different types of\ndata, but we really love our global netflow, because that expansive awareness\nlets you see what\u2019s coming your way before the threat actor even steps into\nyour backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cybercrime goes faster than security\nagencies in Internet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cybercriminals have no regulatory\nburdens. They will always do whatever it takes to get money, data, to carry out\nespionage campaigns or even disruption campaigns. We have many criminal players\nonline any given time, sometimes even competing between themselves for\nsupremacy. Cybercriminals understand the\nweakness and restrictions that different countries and their law enforcement\nagencies have. They know that if they place malicious content outside\njurisdictions, it will slow down law abiding nations\u2019 ability to investigate.\nWhen you consider that limitation, plus the fact that security teams are being\nhit on all sides with potentially thousands of event alerts a day, and the\ntools they have at their disposal are inherently limited, you can see how\nimportant it is for organizations to get ahead of malicious activity, rather\nthan wait for alerts to pop up. You can see how valuable it is for both our\npartners and our clients to be able to monitor malicious activity across the\nglobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the main difficulties agents\nencounter in pursuing cybercrime?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A common difficulty is related to legal\nrestrictions between countries and law enforcement agencies. This is where a\nneutral entity like Team Cymru can really assist the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the cybercrimes that have\ngrown the most in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Without exception all cybercrime\nnumbers have grown, each one for different reasons. We are obviously most\nconcerned about data exfiltration of any kind, financial cybercrime, and of\ncourse attacks on critical infrastructure. Compromises of corporate and\ngovernment networks, as well as ISP networks for the purpose of theft or\nsabotage directly impact the safety and privacy of global citizens.\nUnfortunately, these attacks often begin by taking advantage of human ignorance\nor lapses in judgment. Phishing campaigns and DNS hijacking continue to be very\npopular, for example, because the success rates are so high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which International laws are\nappropriate for the persecution of Internet crimes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are already some strong\nInternational laws, for example Money Laundering, Crimes Against Children,\nHuman Trafficking, Illicit Drug Trafficking and Terrorism. The Budapest\nConvention on Cybercrime is an excellent example of International collaboration\nthat still needs broader support. Cooperation is the key to success, and I\ndon\u2019t think we have much resistance in the global community when it comes to\ncooperation. The challenge from Team Cymru\u2019s perspective is visibility, and the\nability to incorporate global visibility into our efforts to make the Internet\na safer place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Team Cymru’s strategic partner in Latin America and the Caribbean, LACNIC is constantly looking for ways to cooperate in helping prevent the proliferation of cybercrime and coordinating actions with global organizations to help the regional community make the Internet a safer place.
