AI Spera joins an initiative launched in 2019
Interpol launched its Gateway Initiative in 2019 to share cyber-threat intelligence securely with trusted private-sector companies. On Nov. 6, 2026, AI Spera announced that it had signed a cooperation agreement with the international police organization and would participate in the initiative. The company plans to provide cyber-threat data and analysis from its Criminal IP platform, along with technical expertise.
The initiative brings private partners—including cybersecurity companies, technology providers and financial institutions—into intelligence sharing with Interpol. Partners provide indicators of compromise, information about cybercriminals’ tactics and techniques, and threat analysis. Interpol combines those contributions with other intelligence and uses the resulting information to support cybercrime investigations and law-enforcement work.
What AI Spera plans to contribute through Criminal IP
Criminal IP continuously scans the global internet and collects and analyses information about IP addresses, domains, URLs, publicly exposed IT assets and attack infrastructure. Cross-analysis of those data helps investigate suspicious infrastructure and identify connections among different cyber threats, the company says. Under the agreement, the company plans to share threat data, analysis and technical expertise that can be used in cybercrime analysis.
The stated purpose is to provide information useful to investigations and analysis of cybercrime across national borders, and to strengthen threat intelligence. AI Spera describes the contribution as drawing on Criminal IP’s threat intelligence, analytical capabilities and technical expertise. The release says the company will provide this information through Criminal IP as part of the cooperation agreement.
A platform spanning intelligence and exposed assets
AI Spera describes Criminal IP as a cybersecurity platform with threat-intelligence and attack-surface-management functions. The threat-intelligence service gathers and analyses information about internet IP addresses, domains and URLs. The platform also helps organizations continuously identify and manage externally exposed IT assets and security risks.
Those functions support threat investigations, visibility into exposed assets, and the assessment and response to security risks, according to AI Spera. AI Spera’s security services, including Criminal IP, support organizations in investigating threats and identifying and responding to security risks, the company says. Its company profile identifies Criminal IP as one of its security services and describes its work as supporting threat investigation and security-risk management.
AI Spera’s stated rationale
AI Spera CEO Byungtak Kang said cybercrime crosses borders and that criminals’ methods and infrastructure change quickly. Sharing information and expertise between law-enforcement agencies and private companies is important to responding to those threats, he said. Kang regards participation in the Gateway Initiative as very meaningful, he said, and the company will contribute to global efforts against cybercrime through its accumulated threat intelligence, analysis technology and expertise.
「サイバー犯罪は国境を越えて行われ、その手法やインフラも急速に変化しています。こうした脅威に対応するためには、法執行機関と民間企業がそれぞれの情報や専門性を共有し、連携していくことが重要です。今回、インターポールのゲートウェイ・イニシアチブに参加できることを大変意義深く受け止めています。Criminal IPがこれまで蓄積してきた脅威インテリジェンスや分析技術、専門性を活かし、インターポールとの協力を通じて、グローバルなサイバー犯罪対策に貢献してまいります。」
AI Spera describes itself as a security company that supports cyber-threat intelligence and visibility and risk management for externally exposed assets. Its company profile lists its headquarters in Seoul and says it was established in October 2017.
