Incentivizing Cybercrime Disruption: Inside Fortinet’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 Panel

At the World Economic Forum 2026, Fortinet convened a cross-sector panel arguing that disrupting cybercrime requires restructuring incentives, scaling public–private collaboration, and empowering community-sourced intelligence; the session highlighted concrete initiatives such as a Cybercrime Bounty program with Crime Stoppers and contributions to the Cybercrime Atlas to speed validated intelligence into law enforcement actions. Panelists emphasized that AI and automation will accelerate attacks, making rapid, trusted reporting and durable collaboration essential to rebalance the economics of cybercrime and increase costs and risks for attackers.
