The World Economic Forum is hosting the Cybercrime Atlas initiative, Cosmos, to create a universal ontology that maps, classifies and connects the components of the cybercriminal ecosystem. It wants to equip law enforcement agencies, institutions, researchers and private sector experts to understand and disrupt global cybercriminal ecosystems collaboratively.
Orange Cyberdefense is to contribute intelligence about cyber threats, research expertise on open source and technology know-how via an interactive knowledge-graph platform (see screenshot above) to support this global effort.
Orange claims this is “a bold step-change in the way organizations collaborate against cybercrime, enabling greater intelligence sharing, co-ordinated analysis, and collective action across the global cybersecurity community”.
It notes cybercrime is an industrialised, borderless societal threat, that operates through a complex ecosystem involving specialised actors, criminal marketplaces and sophisticated monetization channels.
Orange Cyberdefense is contributing to the Cybercrime Atlas on a pro bono basis, working alongside private-sector and academic experts to support research, data collection and intelligence structuring.
The company is also providing the World Economic Forum with a bespoke visualisation application, built on the technology behind its Cybercrime Now platform which reveals connections between threat actors, infrastructure, criminal services, marketplaces, intermediaries and monetisation chains.
Seán Doyle, Lead of the Cybercrime Atlas at the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, comments, “The Cybercrime Atlas capitalizes on open-source research and the extensive knowledge of leading companies and experts to map cybercrime networks. “The insights generated are supporting greater cooperation between the private sector and public sector to combat cybercrime.”
