NICE Actimize Launches 'Emerging Threats' Webinar Series to Focus on Managing Risk and Money Laundering Threats Within the Financial Services Sector

NEW YORK, January 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, is launching a three-part 'Emerging Threats' Webinar Series beginning January 2016. The series will focus on rising themes within the AML marketplace: virtual currencies and managing risk; trade-based money laundering and movement of funds through the banking system; and human trafficking - and what can be done to stop it.

The 'Emerging Threats' Webinar Series will feature industry subject matter experts from the anti-money laundering and regulatory community as speakers. Micah Willbrand, Director of AML Product Marketing, NICE Actimize who has more than 15 years' experience working with organizations to identify effective practices to mitigate money laundering and other financial crime risks, will moderate all three sessions.

According to Ed Sander, Global VP and General Manager, Anti-Money Laundering, NICE Actimize, "The landscape around financial services is changing: The channels by which money movement occurs today present complex risk-related issues that require more advanced technologies, strategies, and organizational support than ever before. We feel it is important to consider the impact these emerging threats have on the soundness of our financial services infrastructure."

The installments of the 'Emerging Threats' Webinar Series will roll out monthly as follows:

•    Virtual Currencies: How financial institutions are managing this growing area and associated risk, January 13: The launch webinar will feature Roy Vella, a digital currency expert and industry consultant. This session will talk about how virtual currencies work (created, funded, spent, withdrawn) and how the banking system fits into this new model.
