S2W said on the 27th that it was selected as a partner for the Gateway Initiative, a public-private cooperation program led by the International Criminal Police Organization INTERPOL.
The Gateway Initiative aims to provide "actionable intelligence" by linking data and technological capabilities held by private corporations with a global law enforcement network. Information provided by partners is analyzed and processed at INTERPOL's Cyber Fusion Center and delivered to investigative agencies in 196 countries worldwide. Through this, investigative agencies can quickly secure data intelligence and gain a multidimensional understanding of threat situations, enabling a faster and more precise response to cybercrime.
A total of 11 leading global artificial intelligence (AI) and security corporations and institutions are currently participating, and newly selected S2W has joined as the twelfth partner of the Gateway Initiative. This is the first time a Korean corporation has been chosen as a partner for the program.
This partnership is meaningful in that it was achieved on the foundation of the robust cooperation system between S2W and INTERPOL that has continued for six years as of this year. Since 2020, S2W has contributed across various investigative areas, including the arrest of international ransomware organizations, through close collaboration with INTERPOL's Cybercrime Directorate, and has taken part in numerous conferences hosted by INTERPOL to explore ways to strengthen security in the international community.
S2W's strategy is to accelerate overseas market expansion, leveraging its world-class data intelligence technology proven through INTERPOL's top-tier partnership, and to establish itself as a leading corporation in the global security AI market.
Neil Jetten, head of INTERPOL's Cybercrime Directorate, said, "We sincerely welcome S2W's joining of the Gateway Initiative," and added, "We expect S2W's expertise and technological capabilities to further strengthen INTERPOL's ability to work with member countries to respond to transnational cybercrime."
Suh Sang-deok, CEO of S2W, said, "With our participation in INTERPOL's Gateway Initiative, we find it meaningful that the distinctiveness of S2W's AI-based big data analytics technology has once again been internationally recognized," and added, "We will continue to strengthen cooperation with a wide range of global public sector entities, including foreign government agencies and international organizations, to build a proactive and practical response system against the worldwide cyberattacks that are spreading into a grave security threat."
