Criminal IP has announced its official entry into the European market through a strategic partnership with DotForce.
According to the company, 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
DotForce is a premier cybersecurity distributor based in Italy.
Criminal IP says that DotForce is a trusted channel for cutting-edge IT and security solutions and it has long supported major enterprises and government agencies across Europe.
By incorporating Criminal IP into its system integrator partner network, DotForce will provide organisations with real-time visibility into external assets and enhanced resilience against evolving cyber-threats.
Expansion
The company explains that the expansion comes as cyber-attacks in Europe grow increasingly sophisticated.
Italy has been identified as one of the top three European markets for illicit network access trading.
According to Criminal IP, 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 states that it 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.
The company is 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, DotForce explained: “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,” Bressani added.

Byungtak Kang, CEO, AI SPERA commented: “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,” Kang concluded.
