Since its launch in 2025, the Global Signal Exchange has brought together 45 organisations, with a total of 160 in the Membership pipeline, spanning technology platforms, telecoms providers, registries, law enforcement partners and civil society organisations. This growing coalition allows members to exchange threat signals in real time and respond collectively to emerging scam activity. The rapid uptake of the platform reflects industry and law enforcement recognition that individual organisations can no longer tackle online crime alone — and that shared data is essential to disrupting scams before they spread.
Cross border data sharing is legally complex. Emily Taylor's keynote speech at the International Data Law Forum in Berlin, 2025, provides a background on the legal issues, draws parallels with the airline industry and safeguarding in health and social care, and points to signs of hope through voluntary, industry-led initiatives, such as the Global Signal Exchange.
