Data Sharing for the Paranoid - What Financial Services is learning from Govt

Hi all,

This July, we are privileged to have presentations from two thought leaders in security, suspicious activity monitoring and intelligence analysis. Drawing from real-world cases, they will each present a 30-minute thought provoking session on the trends in this fascinating and rapidly evolving area of technology.

"Organisations of all types need to observe behavior, activities, and other changing information over time – and generate actionable intelligence that lets them intervene to keep their customers, the public, or their businesses safe from harm.

• Law enforcement organizations perform suspicious activity monitoring as a foundational part of police and detective work

• Financial services institutions improve oversight with “know your customer” (KYC), anti-money-laundering, and trader surveillance initiatives

• National defence and security agencies “connect the dots” in disparate data to prevent terrorist attacks

• Healthcare and insurance organizations look for potential claims fraud

• Nearly every industry has teams focusing on cyber-crime and cyber-defence

In all cases, it is crucial to integrate data from a variety of heterogeneous sources – as fast as possible – and provide alerts on unusual activities to the people who need to know and respond. Join us as we discuss how to address this imperative."

Our presenters will be Billy Sokol and James Clippinger.

Billy is an industry expert and thought leader in data management, program leadership, solution design, analysis and business process reengineering for defense, security and public safety and has worked with dozens of agencies in over ten countries. He has over 20 years in enterprise technology delivery and management, with deep experience in defense, security & and public safety.

James Clippinger is the Director of Global Technical Services at MarkLogic. James has served as chief data engineer on several US government projects. Prior to MarkLogic, James was a senior search architect at Verity and Autonomy and a consultant at Hamiltonian Solutions. As part of his graduate research at Dartmouth College, he designed algorithms for parallel disk systems, implemented code for optimal parallel fast Fourier transforms, and researched parallel software optimization with Sun Microsystems’ HPC group.

I hope you can join us for these presentations from two extremely knowledgeable experts on this fascinating and highly relevant topic.
