Team Cymru announced that it has formally joined INTERPOL as a Gateway Partner, a move that expands its direct engagement with the world’s premier international law‑enforcement organization. This partnership marks a significant milestone in Team Cymru’s longstanding mission to “save and improve lives” by equipping security teams around the globe with the ability to track and disrupt the most advanced threat actors and malicious infrastructure. By becoming a recognized Gateway Partner, Team Cymru not only gains privileged access to closed‑door meetings and collaborative working sessions, but also cements its role as a critical source of internet‑scale threat intelligence for global cyber‑crime investigations.
Team Cymru Named an INTERPOL Gateway Partner
The announcement confirms that Team Cymru is now listed among INTERPOL’s named partners. As a Gateway Partner, the firm will enjoy expanded opportunities to participate in closed meetings and working sessions with INTERPOL, allowing it to share its visibility and expertise more directly with law‑enforcement officials. This designation reflects a shared commitment to disrupting the criminal infrastructure that underpins cyber‑enabled crime worldwide, and underscores the trust INTERPOL places in Team Cymru’s threat‑intel capabilities. The partnership also highlights Team Cymru’s broader strategy of collaborating with public‑sector entities to amplify the impact of its Pure Signal™ platform, which provides unmatched visibility into global internet activity.
Expanded Collaboration with INTERPOL
The partnership builds on more than a year of joint work, including on‑the‑ground support in Singapore where Team Cymru’s analysts worked side‑by‑side with INTERPOL investigators. Jacomo Piccolini, Team Cymru’s Manager of Outreach, described the new status as “a meaningful step forward in our mission to make the internet a safer place.” By formalizing the relationship, Team Cymru will be able to contribute its extensive data feeds and adversary‑infrastructure insights directly to INTERPOL’s international law‑enforcement efforts. This deeper collaboration is expected to streamline information sharing, accelerate the identification of malicious infrastructure, and enhance coordinated takedowns across borders.
Recent Operations Supported by Team Cymru
Over the past two years, Team Cymru supplied internet‑scale threat intelligence to several major INTERPOL operations, demonstrating the practical impact of its contributions:
- Operation Synergia II – helped dismantle more than 22,000 malicious servers and contributed to 41 arrests across 95 countries.
- Operation Ramz – supported 201 arrests and the seizure of 53 servers in the MENA region, working alongside partners such as Group‑IB and Kaspersky.
- Operation Red Card 2.0 – disrupted scam infrastructure tied to over $45 million in losses.
These achievements illustrate how Team Cymru’s data and analysis can be leveraged in large‑scale, multi‑jurisdictional law‑enforcement initiatives, delivering tangible results that protect both organizations and individual users from evolving cyber threats.
Key Takeaways

TechInsyte's Take
The Gateway Partner status gives Team Cymru a clearer channel to influence international cyber‑crime investigations, which could enhance its visibility among enterprise security teams. However, the announcement does not detail any changes to the Pure Signal™ platform or pricing. CIOs and security leaders should monitor how this deeper law‑enforcement link translates into actionable intelligence for their own environments.
