Case Study: Global Investment Bank achieves $7M annual staffing savings and 66% reduction in false positives with Forcepoint Behavioral Analytics

Greater Visibility into Trading Floor Communications Saves This Bank $7 Million in Projected Investigation Costs

This international banking group with operations in more than 70 countries faced rising compliance risk as traders adopted personal messaging apps and web forums. Its monitoring was limited to email archives and manual keyword searches, producing many false positives, lengthy investigations and exposure to SEC penalties.

Partnering with Forcepoint, the bank deployed a tailored program using Forcepoint Behavioral Analytics to ingest emails, chats, Bloomberg data, web proxy logs and more, applying NLP and contextual user behavior to surface true risks. The solution delivered proven SEC compliance, a 66% reduction in false positives and roughly $7 million saved annually in staffing costs.
