On 9 July 2018, Europol and Orange signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance their collaboration and share information on cyber threats and major attacks. Orange is one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators and a leading provider of global IT and telecommunication services to multinational companies under the Orange Business Services brand.

The agreement defines a framework for Orange and Europol to exchange information on the status of threats to the telecommunication network and on cybercrime trends. Orange will help enhance and enrich this data through the exchange of technical expertise and by sharing the indicators it monitors on its networks, such as spam, DDoS attacks, fraud, and cyberattacks on mobile devices and banking services.
