More specifically, Radware's Inflight event delivery platform will automatically feed real-time events from web applications to Norkom's fraud applications, allowing organizations to assess and react to potential online attacks in real-time, thereby reducing possible financial losses while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Paul Kerley, CEO of Norkom explains: "Financial organizations are looking to technology to help them deliver a cohesive strategy and defense against the increasing volumes and sophistication of financial crime. Employing Norkom's 'gold standard' financial crime and compliance platform in conjunction with Radware's Inflight platform will enable clients to achieve new levels of intelligence and effectiveness in the fight against fraud."
Radware's Inflight product provides users with the ability to deploy their business event delivery platform across the enterprise with the utmost ease, and with zero impact to applications or users. As the industry's only pervasive network-based event platform that delivers real-time business events to applications across the enterprise, it can easily accompany users in the ever-changing business environment.
"Norkom and Radware are jointly engaged to make a material impact in the enterprise financial fraud and compliance marketplace. The combined real-time platforms enable institutions with a significant investment in online businesses to address risk to their business and brand in a methodology with a positive return on investment," stated Paul Bilden, General Manager for Radware's Inflight Group. "Real-time intelligence of online user activity is vital in profiling users for fraud detection or anti-money laundering efforts. The prevalence of financial crimes in the online channel coupled with drivers around increased corporate governance and reputation risk are driving our real-time business with Norkom around our business-smart strategy solutions."
Norkom's financial crime management platform provides financial services organizations with the ability to detect, triage and respond to organized crime attacks either directly through fraud or indirectly through the violation of government regulations such as anti-money laundering or insider trading rules.
