Interpol (International Criminal Police Organisation) Secretary General Jürgen Stock urged police agencies and industry partners to work together to prevent what looks like a future ransomware pandemic.

Secretary General Stock added that the best tactic to disrupt a seemingly never-ending stream of ransomware attacks is to adopt the same international collaboration strategy used when fighting organized crime and terrorism.

"Despite the severity of their crimes, ransomware criminals are continuously adapting their tactics, operating free of borders and with near impunity," Stock said today at the INTERPOL High-Level Forum on Ransomware.

"Ransomware has become too large of a threat for any entity or sector to address alone; the magnitude of this challenge urgently demands united global action which INTERPOL can uniquely facilitate as a neutral and trusted global partner."

With Project Gateway providing a framework which enables INTERPOL to cooperate with private partners and receive threat data directly, participants endorsed four recommendations to create a global leadership framework for action to disrupt and mitigate the impact of ransomware:

Prevent ransomware by raising awareness, partnerships and information sharing.

Aim for pre-exploit disruption of ransomware and its ecosystem through global law enforcement actions both reactively and proactively.

Provide in-event emergency support against ransomware attacks with the use of INTERPOL’s global network and capabilities.

Ensure post-event support following ransomware attacks to increase resilience, agility and responsiveness.
