Director's Cut: A Dummies Guide to Leading a Global Cybercrime Program
summary
Interpol runs a Global Cybercrime Program with a 2015 Singapore hub, an 80-person team (18–20% vacancies) and regional desks across four bureaus; work ranges from secure intelligence sharing via secure HTTPS workspaces to project-funded capacity building that turns tools into core services. Africa gets surge operations and training—35 countries in Rwanda 2022—and Nigeria’s unit grows from a 3-person shipping‑container start to a 95-staff Nigeria center after selection of 20 from 140. Program coordinates private partners (Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet), feeds data into operations (e.g. LockBit takedown intelligence), but cannot lead arrests, must respect Article 3 neutrality and faces sustainability gaps when project funding ends.
