Cybercrime: launched the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance (ICSPA)

There are calls today for a concerted, coordinated crackdown on cyber crime in the face of the increasing global threat. For the first time, leading international businesses, government and law enforcement agencies are coming together in a bid to tackle the issue. Launching in London today, the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance (ICSPA) is focused on taking the fight to cyber criminals. It plans to disrupt their activities by providing more resources, tools and expertise to law enforcement agencies in countries that face the greatest challenges or potentially act as hosts; helping them be more successful in their fight against cybercrime. In welcoming the launch of the ICSPA, UK Prime Minister, the Rt Hon David Cameron MP, said: “Our government has already injected an additional £650m to help improve our national infrastructure and protect against cybercrime, but the very nature of this threat calls for more than a national response; it demands a truly global response and that is what the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance is all about”.
