In a world where digital threats are growing at an alarming rate, it becomes essential for organizations to join forces and make a meaningful impact. At Maltego, we believe that our role goes beyond providing technology; it’s about giving back and supporting those on the front lines fighting the good fight. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce our latest support for the Cybercrime Atlas – an initiative hosted in the World Economic Forum that is dedicated to mapping, disrupting, and ultimately reducing global cybercrime.
Giving Back Through Our Core Values 🔗︎
Maltego’s core values drive everything we do: Empowering meaningful work, acting ethically and consciously, and fostering a culture where we care and commit to causes that make a difference. Our partnership with the Cybercrime Atlas reflects these values in action. It’s about contributing to a safer world by supporting organizations actively working to disrupt the cybercrime ecosystem.
“The Cybercrime Atlas is a collaborative research initiative by leading companies and experts, facilitated by the World Economic Forum, to map the cybercrime landscape,” said Tal Goldstein, Head of Strategy and Policy at the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity. “The insights generated are promoting opportunities for greater cooperation between the private sector and law enforcement to address cybercrime.”
Cybercrime doesn’t just affect corporations; it impacts individuals, critical infrastructure, and governments worldwide. The Cybercrime Atlas community, hosted by the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, aims to build a shared knowledge base that tackles this problem head-on. By leveraging open-source research, the Atlas creates new insights into the cybercriminal ecosystem, equipping cyber defenders with the knowledge to disrupt cybercrime and mitigate attacks.
Our Commitment to the Global Good 🔗︎
Our support for the Cybercrime Atlas isn’t about showcasing Maltego or promoting our solutions. It’s about standing with those dedicated to making the world a safer place. The collaboration was made possible through the Maltego Grants Program for Education & Research, a program we hold dear as it embodies our goal to push boundaries and help solve society’s toughest challenges.
The Maltego Grants Program empowers academia, researchers, trainers, and non-profit organizations, fostering a community where collaborative intelligence thrives. Through this partnership with the Cybercrime Atlas, we can support the critical work they’re doing to map the cybercrime landscape, disrupt criminal activities, and shape public policy for a safer internet.
Maltego: Empowering Cybercrime Disruption with Maltego 🔗︎
While our mission here is to support, it’s worth highlighting how the Maltego platform can assist the Cybercrime Atlas community. Maltego is instrumental in:
- Conducting Criminal Investigations: Uncovering the networks, infrastructure, and operations of cybercriminals.
- Enhancing Cyber Threat Intelligence: Providing researchers with insights that lead to actionable disruption of cybercrime.
- Protecting National Security and Public Safety: Equipping organizations with the means to safeguard critical infrastructures.
By providing support to the Cybercrime Atlas, we enable their community members to delve deep into open-source research, identify key threats, and share their findings effectively. Our all-in-one platform, tailored to enhance intelligence and counter cybercrime, align seamlessly with the Atlas’ mission of driving a global, united response to the ever-growing threat of cybercrime.
A Shared Mission: Making the Internet Safer 🔗︎
At Maltego, we’re driven by our beliefs and share these values with every NGO we support through our Grants Program. The Cybercrime Atlas’ approach to mapping, disrupting, and shaping the future of cybercrime resonates deeply with us. As cybercrime groups expand and exploit complex, cross-border infrastructures, collaboration and open research become crucial to outpace these threats.
The Cybercrime Atlas addresses key challenges in the fight against cybercrime:
- Mapping: Bringing together a community to chart the landscape of cybercriminal networks and activities.
- Disrupting: Offering actionable research to its members to dismantle criminal operations.
- Shaping: Providing evidence-based recommendations to enhance public policy and operational collaboration, making the digital world increasingly hostile for criminals.
In a landscape where knowledge is fragmented and responses often disjointed, the Cybercrime Atlas seeks to unify efforts, breaking down the silos that hinder a coherent defence. This is why we are so happy to support this partnership – not because it benefits Maltego, but because it strengthens the global fight against cybercrime.
A Call to Collaborative Action 🔗︎
We believe that meaningful change happens when like-minded organizations come together to ask the big questions and chase solutions. By partnering with initiatives like the Cybercrime Atlas, we reaffirm our commitment to empower those who work tirelessly to make a difference. Whether it’s protecting national security, conducting criminal investigations, or combating cybercrime, we are here to support those tackling these challenges.
The road ahead is complex, and cyber threats will continue to evolve. However, through partnerships like this, we remain hopeful. We are driven by a simple belief: life is about giving back, and our support of the Cybercrime Atlas is just one way we strive to contribute to a safer, more secure digital world.
Let’s continue to empower meaningful work, act consciously, and support those on the front lines of the fight against cybercrime. Together, we can make the internet a safer place.
