MATRIX-EXZAC DEBUTS EMPLOYEE MONITORING AND INSIDER FRAUD SOLUTION FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Matrix-Exzac, a leading global provider of financial crime prevention and compliance solutions and services, announces the new Matrix-Exzac Employee Monitoring and Insider Fraud (EMIF) solution. Insider fraud is an increasingly serious threat for banks and financial institutions around the world, posing threats to data integrity and security, regulatory compliance, consumer confidence, brand reputation – and their bottom line. Matrix-Exzac has partnered with Intellinx, a leading provider of Insider Fraud and Employee Monitoring technology, to provide Financial Services organizations with a cost-effective, end-to-end solution for addressing insider threats.

Combining Matrix-Exzac’s proven agile delivery methodologies with Intellinx’s zero ETL technology stack – a non-invasive solution that does not require data loads – the new EMIF solution deploys in a low impact, accelerated implementation that delivers rapid results. It streamlines fraud monitoring by utilizing Intellinx’s proprietary network-sniffing function, eliminating the industry’s traditional cumbersome, time-consuming ETL steps.

Matrix-Exzac Partner and Insider Fraud Subject Matter Expert Josh Ablett says, “With the new EMIF solution, Matrix-Exzac can demonstrate a record-and-replay, rule writing and comprehensive data capture – typically within a few weeks, providing a low risk and high ROI solution to help financial institutions address increasing fraud challenges and meet regulatory demands.

According to information from the second annual Attachmate Corporation and Ponemon Institute survey, “The Risk of Insider Fraud”:
