Countering International Economic Crime
In response to the growing threat posed by international economic crime, Avisa Partners is equipped to respond to a wide variety of threats: smuggling, product or model counterfeiting, misuse, content piracy (streaming, P2P, DDL, IPTV), software or hardware cracking, fraud, identification, monitoring and providing support for dismantling criminal networks, tracing data leaks, etc.
Criminal activities, due to their operational and sectoral diversity, are impossible to eradicate completely. They are persistent threats that must be mitigated or contained using an array of tools. The topline objective for victims of international economic crime (governments, institutions, companies) is to reduce a critical threat to manageable levels.
