“It is easy to understand these concepts at a high level, but hard to [know] what data we need to use,” Whitmore says. “Is it data from customers, data from existing systems, transactional data, internal or external data or social media data?”
Financial institutions must integrate new technologies into their core processes and systems, he stresses.
In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Whitmore also discusses:
- Technologies that can help in the fight against money laundering;
- Challenges involved in implementing network link analysis;
- A case study of a bank tackling money laundering risks.
