Binance has continued to strengthen its collaboration with international law enforcement agencies by delivering a virtual law enforcement training session to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL). The training familiarized INTERPOL officers with Binance's approach to cryptocurrency investigations and cyber policing in the emerging Web3 space.
Having delivered over 120 in-person and virtual training sessions in 2023 under its Global Law Enforcement Training Program, Binance has committed to ramping up these collaborative sessions throughout 2024. The latest training session, held on January 24th, was attended by more than 30 INTERPOL officers.
Hosted by Binance's Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) unit, the sharing session delved into the mechanisms and techniques Binance employs to counter cyber threats. It also provided officers insight into collaborating with Binance on criminal investigations, from data request procedures to the freezing or seizure of illicit funds.
Horest Au Yeung, an INTERPOL representative, emphasized the importance of cross-collaboration between industry experts and law enforcement communities, especially considering the rise in digital asset adoption and consequent digital space crimes.
Jarek Jakubcek, Head of Law Enforcement Training at Binance, asserted the company's commitment to maintaining cybersecurity through a holistic and collaborative approach. Jakubcek expressed Binance's honor in actively shaping safer digital landscapes through the sharing of expertise needed to address cyber threats and cryptocurrency-related crimes.
Last year, Binance's FCC unit hosted 120 training sessions, which garnered highly positive feedback from the law enforcement community. In 2024, Binance reiterates its dedication to strengthening cybersecurity in more regions worldwide through increased cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
