The report says NetGuardians is “cool” because they “combine the data capture capability of a security incidents and events management (SIEM) solution into an operational risk assessment application, and layer it with the capability to associate user behaviors to core business transactions.”
It recognises that NetGuardians’ solutions “give audit and compliance professionals a headstart in identifying operational risk and detecting fraud” because they can “not only identify a suspicious transaction but also investigate individual steps of the suspicious transaction… NetGuardians’ solutions help detect employee collusion that is not seen in other products on a single platform in the related markets.”
“This independent assessment by such a reputable source is definitely an honour,” says NetGuardians COO Raffael Maio. “It gives us the message that we’re on the right track, creating highly effective, innovative fraud mitigation and risk assurance solutions for banks.”
