Analyst
The Analyst role responds to requests from Supervisors or Investigators to perform a deep analysis on an entity or object, looking for anomalies.
Alerts and cases are created programmatically when an analysis flow detects possible fraud risk in a transaction or other event. When an Investigator determines that more complex analysis is warranted, they assign the case or a specific task for the case to an Analyst, who is usually a specialist in mathematics or statistics.
Analysts can use the tools that are provided as part of the Counter Fraud Management solution to do a deeper analysis of the facts and circumstances of the case or alert. Tools include Identity Analysis Platform, IBM i2 Analyst’s Notebook, and IBM Identity Insights.
The Analyst identifies relevant parties and relationships within fraudulent cases. He gathers data to fill in the gaps. To do so, the Analyst might be asked to begin the initial investigation, review Content Analytics, and perform link analysis (or text analysis, if required). In turn, the Analyst returns the findings of their study back to the Investigator to use as evidence in a prosecution, or to finalize a case as not fraudulent. Analysts can also edit case properties.
- Content Analytics
Unstructured data forms up to 80% of total enterprise content. Connecting your analysts and investigators directly to this content provided by the users has real operational advantages. The investigation team can use Content Analytics to turn this vast, unstructured data into insights that support their investigation.
- Link Analysis
Provides the user with the ability to investigate with greater detail the links to and from their objects of interest. This results in the user seeing more relationships in the resulting diagram. Critical insights and usable intelligence can be distilled from vast, seemingly unrelated data to support the investigations to help protect an organization’s reputation and revenue. Evidence is provided in various visual formats that can be used to assist repudiation, recovery, and prosecution.
- Entity Resume
Provides a unified collection of all information in the entity database about a specific entity, including names, addresses, identifiers, roles , related entities, role alert history, event alert history and disclosures.
