OREANDA-NEWS. NEC Corporation will introduce a revolutionary cyber fusion security concept at the 82nd ICPO-INTERPOL General Assembly Exhibition, which will be held at Centro de Convenciones Cartegena de Indias Julio Cesar Turbay Ayala in Cartagena, Colombia from 21 to 24 October 2013. Known as Cyber Fusion Platform, the concept attempts to create a fusion solution that will encompass both virtual and real-world security.

Among all forms of asymmetric attacks, locating a cyber-criminal behind a cyber-attack is one of the most challenging tasks for law enforcement agencies. By leveraging physical sensor networks (e.g. facial images, surveillance video footage, geo-location coordinates, etc.) and cyber information surveillance (e.g. facebook, blogs, forums, twitter, chat-rooms), it is possible, through the concerted efforts of international and in-country inter-agency collaborations, to identify the true source of an attack and physically locate a cyber-criminal.

NEC is in a unique position as a company that has extensive experience and expertise in offering security solutions to governments around the world. Our biometrics identification solutions have been used by more than 500 customers in some 40 countries. In addition, our video surveillance and video analytic capabilities have achieved success in a variety of regions in South America. By helping to set up and utilize multiple sensor networks and integrating these networks into an array of cyber security solutions, NEC can help law enforcement agencies locate the physical origin of online attacks.

The Cyber Fusion Platform will be relevant to the Cyber-Fusion Centre which will be housed in the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation to be established in Singapore in 2014. The Centre will provide a platform for law enforcement to collaborate with the Internet security industry to effectively combat digital crime. It will also provide expertise to national cybercrime units during enquiries, coordinate cross-border investigations and deploy investigative support teams to assist national law enforcement agencies during investigations following a serious cybercrime incident.
