November 19, 2018

Europol, the law enforcement agency of the European Union, and Diebold Nixdorf, a provider of self-service transaction technologies, have signed a memorandum of understanding to increase the effectiveness of efforts to combat cybercrime.

Under the MOU, the signatories will share knowledge about major cyberthreats and attacks, and will exchange information related to organized crime activity involving self-service ecosystems, according to a press release.

"The signing of this memorandum of understanding will improve our capabilities and increase our effectiveness in preventing, prosecuting and disrupting cybercrime related to self-service ecosystems," Steven Wilson, head of the European Cybercrime Center, said during the signing ceremony. "As a company with a strong global presence, a working cooperation of this type between Europol and Diebold Nixdorf is the most effective way in which we can hope to secure cyberspace for European citizens and businesses. I am confident that the high level of expertise our industry partners bring with them are going to result in a significant benefit to our Europe-wide investigations."

Formed in 2013, EC3 targets cybercrime by facilitating the joint identification, prioritization, preparation and initiation of cross-border investigations and operations by its partners. 

"Diebold Nixdorf is committed to ensuring the security of the millions of transactions enabled by our technology each day," said Bernd Redecker, Diebold Nixdorf director of corporate security and fraud management. "The signing of this memorandum of understanding with EC3 reinforces our commitment to proactively fight cybercrime, and we look forward to intensive, industry-wide information exchange as well as joint projects that will help protect our customers and prevent incidents related to self-service ecosystems."
