Cybercrime Atlas

Hosted by the World Economic Forum

Building a shared knowledge base to disrupt cybercrime

The Cybercrime Atlas community uses open-source research to create new insights into the cybercriminal ecosystem.

Cybercrime Atlas participants use this research to disrupt cybercrime and mitigate the impact of cyber attacks.

Cybercrime is global

Cybercrime groups are large, distributed across borders and can access complex technical infrastructure while relying on a growing ecosystem of online criminal services.

Knowledge of cybercrime is fragmented

Cyber defenders lack systemic knowledge of cybercrime and have difficulty seeing the full extent of a cybercriminal group's activities.

Responses to cybercrime are disjointed

Cybercrime is transnational but responses are localised. This makes effective and coherent disruption of cybercrime challenging.

Cybercrime Atlas "Cosmos"

Cosmos, developed by the Cybercrime Atlas community, is an open source, ontology-based knowledge graph that maps the global cybercrime ecosystem, connecting criminal groups, tools, infrastructure and financial enablers into a single integrated framework. It transforms fragmented intelligence into a collaborative, system-level map that helps defenders, policymakers, and investigators understand connections, coordinate globally, and work together against cybercrime. 

The underlying open source formal ontology that powers Cosmos is available on Github.  

The graph shows how criminal actors, platforms, technologies, and markets connect to enable harmful activity. Built by the Cybercrime Atlas community, led and powered by Orange Cyberdefense intelligence, Cosmos uses a shared ontology to structure knowledge and grow through open collaboration. 

For the best user experience, this platform is recommended for use on a desktop or laptop computer.

Here's how Cybercrime Atlas community's research disrupts cybercrime.

What's the impact of Cybercrime?

Cybercrime impacts everyone, from individuals to global corporations, and affects critical infrastructure and government services.

Cybercrime Atlas support to Operations Serengeti 1.0 & 2.0

Cybercrime Atlas research aids INTERPOL & AFRIPOL disruption of cybercrime networks across 19 countries in 2024 and 2025.

How can we disrupt cybercrime?

Disrupting organised cybercrime requires a global effort with strong, trusted relationships between the public and private sectors.

How we drive impact

Map Cybercrime
Map

Cybercrime Atlas community members collaborate to map the cybercrime landscape, criminal operations, networks, and infrastructure. To ensure that the knowledge they create can be shared effectively, the Cybercrime Atlas relies on open-source research.

Disrupt cybercrime
Disrupt

The Cybercrime Atlas supports disruption of cybercriminal activities by providing actionable research to its community. 

The Cybercrime Atlas community is made up of organisations who have a key role in identifying and disrupting cybercriminal operations.

Improve collaboration to counter cybercrime
Shape

The Cybercrime Atlas is a source for evidence-based recommendations for improvements to public policy. It also produces practical guidance to enhance operational collaborations that counter cybercrime. This will make the internet a higher risk environment for cybercriminals.
