Why collaboration is key to disrupting the economics of cybercrime
No single organization can disrupt cybercrime alone, so working together and sharing intelligence across both industries and borders is vital for success.
Derek Manky leads FortiGuard Labs’ Global Threat Intelligence Team at Fortinet, bringing over 25 years of cyber security experience. For more than 15 years he has been highly engaged in building public/private partnerships, including the World Economic Forum Partnership Against Cybercrime (PAC), INTERPOL Gateway, the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA), Cybercrime Atlas, Cybercrime Bounty, FIRST.org, and MITRE Center for Threat Informed Defense. These initiatives are highly focused on cybercrime disruption.
Manky sits on the board of the CTA and has been with the alliance since it was founded in May 2014. He also sits on the WEF Centre for Cybersecurity (C4C) advisory board, and on the executive committee of the Cybercrime Atlas Initiative. Manky has established frameworks in the security industry including responsible vulnerability disclosure, which has exercised the responsible reporting of over 1000 zero-day vulnerabilities.
His vision is applied to help shape the future of proactive cyber security, with the ultimate goal to make a positive impact towards the global war on cybercrime and threat actors.
