Hosting the Cybercrime Atlas in the World Economic Forum creates the space to experiment with how we enable disruption collaborations - giving the Cybercrime Atlas participants access to the expertise and ideas of the Forums' Partnership Against Cybercrime community. This was a turning point as it answered one of the first questions posed by the Cybercrime Atlas community: can we create new and actionable intelligence relying on open-source information and, by working collectively, can we build insights that match or exceed those created by the community members working in isolation? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding "Yes".
