Group-IB (established in 2003) is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Singapore.
History
Group-IB was founded in 2003 by Ilya Sachkov and Dmitry Volkov in Russia. Six years later the firm moved to Singapore.[1] In July 2020, it received funding from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore by venture capital firm TNB Ventures.[2]
In September 2021, its co-founder and then CEO, Ilya Sachkov was detained by Russian authorities for treason and was later jailed for 14 years.[3][4] Consequently it was announced to split Russian and international business and finalized the split and sold the business in April 2023 handing over its interests to local management in Russia.[5][6]
Group-IB signed a MoU with AFRIPOL to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities in 2024 and extended their strategic partnership with Interpol at INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore.[7][8][9]
Investigations with law enforcement agencies
- It cooperated with Guardia di Finanza (GdF) as part of the operation No-vax free in 2021, the Italian police for financial crimes, in identifying the criminals trading in fake green passes of COVID-19 vaccines.[10]
- In 2022, the firm worked with the Dutch police in an operation to apprehend alleged members of a phishing group named Fraud Family.[11][12]
