INTEGRATED TRADE & E-COMMS SURVEILLANCE

Traditional black-box based compliance has had limited success in detecting fraud because its focus is too restrictive.

While individual transactional analysis is important, contextual analysis needs to survey a wider spectrum. It’s now accepted that detection is not just about individual systems and trades, it’s not just about fixed limits and parameters, it’s not just about siloed reports and audit trails – it’s about all the interactions, dependencies, changes, communications, patterns and behaviors across the trade lifecycle and the organization, that standalone alerts and static rules simply don’t catch. While many solutions focus on specific siloed aspects of data analysis (e.g. trade, voice, email), until now there has been no solution that can give true multi-factorial analysis across them all. KX Surveillance is that solution.

Consolidated Surveillance and Supervision

By scanning third-party data for users’ unknown behaviours, aggregating data across multiple sources and disparate formats, optimizing your process with automated risk analytics and transforming assumption into hard facts and figures. KX enables contextual analysis, workflow, audit and transparency that not only ensures regulatory compliance, but also delivers massive operational savings through fewer false positives and efficiency in ensuring risk controls are met.

Comprehensive E-Comms Surveillance

KX’s flexible infrastructure allows for broad capture of structured and unstructured data across, emails, chat applications (Reuters, Skype, Teams, Slack), online forums (Reddit), and voice. When coupled with trades, news, and other transactional activity, provide context and deeper insights into potentially suspicious activity that regulators now expect organizations to include in their oversight. This integrated approach allows for a unified end-to-end monitoring to mitigate risk and manage compliance demands.

Machine Learning Methodologies and Techniques

ML techniques are changing the surveillance methodology from being lag-indicator driven to lead-indicator driven where the focus is detection of intent and threat avoidance, rather than conviction when the financial and reputational damage has already been done. Machine Learning techniques like Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be used in the investigation phases to parse documents, texts and other comms to uncover suspicious activity and assist a prosecution by providing corroborating evidence.

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES

KX PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES TO SUPPORT YOUR RISK MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE STRATEGY
