CHEATSHEET: Why manual checks are not enough
Example: SWIFT sanctions lists have been updated 360 times last year => Manual updates have to be done everyday
Example: Sanction lists also include legal entities, addresses, passport number, countries etc. => screening name is not enough
Example: There are 112 spelling variations in Muammar Kaddafi’s name in print media (see table below) OFAC list provides 8 of them, the UN sanction uses only 1 => Manual screening will only stop 9 out of 112

CHEATSHEET: How DVR can help identify fraud – A fictitious scenario Attackers gain access to the back office systems of Bank X and send fraudulent payments. A total of $150M in fraud is sent from Bank X to accounts in Bank Y ($100M) and Bank Z ($50M). Statements are intercepted by malware in Bank X’s environment – payment records are wrong! Payments to Bank Y are uncharacteristic, values are usually lower! There have been no previous payments to Bank Z
Bank X Bank A Bank Y Bank B Bank Z
