Most Financial services institutions (incl Banks) focus on using their internal data to patrol for corruption. While that’s certainly a good practice, if they really want their risk management to be efficient, they need to shift their focus to using external data, or OSINT. This is because constantly monitoring the external environment enables financial services companies to proactively mitigate risk before it causes damage.

Monitoring OSINT also helps discover and deal with risk events more quickly and effectively if and when they do occur.Financial services companies can gain by using OSINT data -

• To support Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance by tracking more data periodically.
• To support cyber-security efforts by monitoring for breach events in near real-time.

All financial services providers are required to establish compliance programs ensuring anti-money laundering to monitor data and mitigate risk associated with fraud. These regulatory requirement is known as Know Your Customer (KYC). For financial services institutions to comply with KYC requirements, they must scan the world-wide-web for any data that might indicate corruption or risk related to their customers or potential investment assets.

Most financial services providers, use traditional tools to monitor for corruption through a semi-manual process. In this method, they scan the list of customers and runs it against a set amount of Web data to check for any negative mention of those customers.

The problem with this semi-manual process is that, it surveys data pretty infrequently—usually just once a quarter. Think of it as a kind of background check your bank performs on you when you sign up for an account and then it leaves you alone, free to do whatever you’d like, until it finally checks up on you again a few months later to discover your name against negative lists.

By using OSINT, financial services providers can collect a much greater amount of data about their customers and investments, thus enabling them in the position to detect and prevent far more fraud.

Intelayse

Netalyse has developed revolutionary OSINT technology that monitors in near real-time—meaning that we can help financial services providers spot the trouble makers early.

Our Intelayse solution scans the Surface Web and importantly, the Deep Web, for any mention of corruption, compromised information, exposure to credit risk. We collect all this data, analyze to determine the real risks, and then alert the institution of those risks so they can deal with them appropriately.

This is done in a fully automated format, so companies can be notified of risks as it happens. Constant monitoring is crucial both for small banks that can’t afford to check data frequently and for large corporations that handle high-risk clients, whose potential fraudulent schemes could cost the corporation heavy losses apart from losing their brand value and market share.

Along with supporting KYC compliance, using OSINT helps financial services providers support their cyber-security units in their efforts to keep proprietary information safe. Because OSINT technology surveys more data more frequently than traditional risk management tools, it can detect breach events to financial services systems like online banking almost immediately.

Intelayse scans all sorts of data sources to detect cyber-fraud threats. One primary source is social media. For instance, someone might post a link on Facebook to a fake credit report score landing page or tweet out a phishing scam that has not yet been discovered by the bank itself.

Intelayse helps companies stay on top of those social media messages to better determine vulnerabilities to their online security.

The bottom line here is that breach are going to happen. Credit cards will be stolen. Customer information will be stolen. There will be constant news on online banking hacks.

The aim for financial institutions is to identify sooner when these breaches occurred and help them prepare against similar attacks more quickly and efficiently. Right now, the fastest and the most effective way to do this is by using OSINT.

Thankfully, there’s a solution to these problems: OSINT. Netalyse’s cutting-edge OSINT technology is their product “Intelayse” that provides a holistic tool to financial services companies with greater insights at a faster rate.
