Helping You to Locate,
Freeze and Recover Stolen Assets Taken by Cybercriminals or Corrupt Officials

In today’s high-tech world, financial institutions are vulnerable to cyberattacks, which expose them to substantial losses. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (widely known by its acronym “SWIFT”) has pointed out that “[t]he growing threat of cyberattacks has never been more pressing.” While financial institutions, in collaboration with SWIFT, have taken measures to safeguard their environments, the threat still persists and the risks remain high. Indeed, financial institutions have lost tens of millions of dollars to sophisticated cybercriminals who compromise their SWIFT infrastructure.

As financial institutions race to minimize their risks against cybercrimes, governments around the world struggle against public corruption, which poses a fundamental threat to a nation’s security and way of life. It is estimated that public corruption costs governments billions of dollars each year.
