Reporting enables cybercrime response, INTERPOL director says

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) coordinates investigations across borders, supports countries with technical expertise, and works with stakeholders to track and disrupt cybercriminal networks.

Secure was one such operation, INTERPOL cybercrime director Neal Jetton told BusinessWorld in the sidelines of Trend Micro’s cybersecurity event, DECODE 2025. The multinational operation, which focused on information-stealing malware and resulted in 32 arrests, ran from January to April 2025 and involved 26 countries in Asia.

In this audiogram, Mr. Jetton talks about the importance of reporting on cybercrimes, as this helps in arrests, asset recovery, and infrastructure takedown.
