Torrance, United States / California, September 1st, 2025, CyberNewsWire
Criminal IP, the AI-powered threat intelligence and attack surface management (ASM) platform developed by AI SPERA, announced its official entry into the European market through a strategic partnership with DotForce, a premier cybersecurity distributor based in Italy. The collaboration will extend Criminal IP’s advanced capabilities to enterprises and public institutions across Southern Europe, including Spain and Portugal, with plans to scale distribution throughout the region.
DotForce, a trusted channel for cutting-edge IT and security solutions, has long supported major enterprises and government agencies across Europe. By incorporating Criminal IP into its system integrator partner network, DotForce will provide organizations with real-time visibility into external assets and enhanced resilience against evolving cyber threats.
The expansion comes as cyberattacks in Europe grow increasingly sophisticated. Italy, for example, has been identified as one of the top three European markets for illicit network access trading. A major ransomware attack in 2021 compromised data from 76 Italian enterprises, highlighting the urgent need for more proactive national and enterprise-level defense strategies.
Backed by a 44-petabyte threat intelligence infrastructure and more than 1,000 servers, Criminal IP continuously monitors 4.3 billion IP addresses worldwide. Delivered as a cloud-based Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS), the platform enables rapid deployment and offers safe, always-on scanning technology that identifies vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Already trusted by users in over 150 countries, Criminal IP is integrated with 40+ global security vendors, including Cisco, Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks.
Fabrizio Bressani, CEO of DotForce, commented, “Our mission is to empower partners with cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. Criminal IP’s attack surface management and threat intelligence capabilities bring immediate value to security teams, with seamless automation and platform integration.”
Byungtak Kang, CEO of AI SPERA, added, “Partnering with DotForce marks a pivotal milestone for Criminal IP in Europe. This collaboration validates our technology in one of the world’s most advanced security markets and accelerates our integration into the regional ecosystem. With a target of 50 global partnerships, we will continue expanding into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa, building Criminal IP into a truly global security platform.”
