Introduction
The global battle against cybercrime and the malicious actors that enable it is constant and hard, yet our combined defenses remain fragmented. Cybercrime has a ubiquitous presence, uses diverse attack tactics, and has a wide range of targets. Often, one threat group’s tools, networks, and advancements can push another’s operations, leading to even more devastating attacks. In contrast, cyber defenders’ united front appears meek in the fight against cybercrime.
International collaboration remains limited and often delayed. There is a lack of contextual information to understand the attackers and their attacks’ scope, and response and investigation times are often stretched. This gap hinders our ability to offer stronger retaliation in real-time.
As cybercriminals innovate their attack methods and pace, the industry’s technological and defensive one-upmanship remains the only way to defeat them.
GLOCAL Cybersecurity: Group-IB empowering regions, transcending boundaries
Cybercrime is a global, borderless problem—it’s time we stopped treating it as a compartmentalized challenge. Realizing this critical ground reality early on, Group-IB adopted a decentralized operational strategy enabling collective action against cybercrime and comprehensive coverage of threat actors across all geographies for information exchange as the only effective long-term solution.
Group-IB’s GLOCAL strategy ensures the most robust response to cybercrime worldwide through its Digital Crime Resistence Centers (DCRCs), which deliver immediate, comprehensive, localized expertise and intelligence support. This approach enables more precise and targeted defenses for each region.
DCRCs are the fundamental elements that enable the company to build a decentralized organization. Each regional DCRC’s foundational and core expertise—which is our DNA—encompasses Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), Investigations, Threat Intelligence (TI), and Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERT).
Our journey to building DCRCs began in 2019. Today, Group-IB’s DCRC network spans multiple strategic locations, including Singapore, the Netherlands, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Italy, Uzbekistan, Chile, and Egypt.

First-ever decentralized cybersecurity company
Our global expansion through 11 (+ counting) successfully established DCRCs is a forward-thinking strategy to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving risk landscape—one that can render playbook threat responses infective and bring the constant threat of disruption and damage that goes beyond financial losses and impacts everyday lives.
With a decentralized structure, we can offer tailored solutions informed by localized threat landscapes, collaborative expertise, and next-gen cybersecurity technologies.

Unmatched cybersecurity capacity with DCRCs
The ability to assist at the most critical times, with the best resources, is what makes Group-IB the most reliable and leading cybersecurity provider, along with the:
🫱 Unique, real-time, region-focused threat insights
DCRCs deliver unique, real-time insights tailored to local challenges while contributing to a cohesive global defense strategy. With digital forensics initiatives and over 1,700 successful investigations attributed to Group-IB’s expertise, we’ve not only held cybercriminals accountable but also uncovered unknown insights into their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). These findings continually enhance our threat intelligence platform, informing decision-making and enabling intelligence-sharing across stakeholders.
Our threat intelligence experts and CERT-GIB teams work closely with local communities, providing critical first-response support during crises and delivering actionable insights to counter localized threats.
🫱 Building effective relationships
Building effective relationships with law enforcement, authorities, and other relevant government actors and industries is crucial for a strong front against global cybercrime. This not only facilitates legal actions, including arrests, asset seizures, and widespread awareness, but also reduces duplicative efforts stemming from individualized searches, investigations, and retaliatory measures. By addressing delays, underlying bureaucracy, and increasing costs and efforts, Group-IB advocates for more nimble, coordinated, and globalized collaboration, positioning itself as the perfect partner to help materialize it.
🫱 Threat hunting and intelligence sharing
Threat hunting, intelligence gathering, enrichment, and sharing are key functions of DCRCs. Operating like interconnected neural networks, these centers continuously exchange threat insights, incident response data, and forensic clues left by adversaries. This collaboration improves awareness, connects tactics across regions, dismantles extensive cybercrime networks, uncovers hidden strategies, and delivers effective, preemptive responses to stop threats in their tracks.
🫱 Cybersecurity that empowers the community
While pacing towards global expansion, Group-IB remains socially conscious by prioritizing community empowerment. This includes offering training programs, awareness events, and initiatives for universities, security forces, and the wider community. From free tools to gamified technologies, DCRCs foster a proactive approach to cybersecurity, equipping upcoming cybersecurity joiners, existing experts, organizations, and the community with the knowledge and resources needed to build resilience against cyber threats.
