Group-IB (established in 2003) is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Singapore.
History
Group-IB was founded in 2003 by Ilya Sachkov and Dmitry Volkov in Russia. Six years later the firm moved to Singapore. In July 2020, it received funding from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore by venture capital firm TNB Ventures.
In September 2021, its co-founder and then CEO, Ilya Sachkov was detained by Russian authorities for treason and was later jailed for 14 years. Consequently it was announced to split Russian and international business and finalized the split and sold the business in April 2023 handing over its interests to local management in Russia.
Group-IB signed a MoU with AFRIPOL to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities in 2024 and extended their strategic partnership with Interpol at INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore.

- It cooperated with Guardia di Finanza (GdF) as part of the operation No-vax free in 2021, the Italian police for financial crimes, in identifying the criminals trading in fake green passes of COVID-19 vaccines.
- In 2022, the firm worked with the Dutch police in an operation to apprehend alleged members of a phishing group named Fraud Family.
