NICE NICE has launched Suspicious Activity Monitoring (SAM-10), which is designed to detect more suspicious activity and reduce false positives.
SAM-10 enhances anti-money laundering solutions by incorporating multiple layers of defense that provide comprehensive coverage and detection of suspicious activity for financial institutions.
Further, SAM-10 incorporates next-generation analytics like machine learning and network risk analytics for detecting accurate suspicious relationships and transaction patterns.
It also supports regulatory compliance, aligns with risk-based transaction monitoring, reduces false positives, and focuses on meaningful and suspicious alerts.
