C6 Intelligence Announces Purchase of Pneuron Distributed Analytics Platform for Creation of Next-Generation Fraud and Identity Theft Solutions

July 22, 2014 - WOBURN, Mass.— Pneuron Corporation, the pioneer of the distributed solutions category, today announced C6 Intelligence has licensed Pneuron’s Distributed Platform for the design, development and deployment of next generation B2B and B2C global risk and fraud solutions.

“C6 combined with Pneuron’s unique abilities will be at the forefront of that battle.”

The implementation will enable C6 to access thousands of different data sources around the world to help their customers understand their vulnerability to the increasingly troubling threats of identity theft, brand protection and money laundering.

In the United States alone, it is expected 15 million individuals will have their identities used fraudulently each year with financial losses totaling upwards of $50 billion.

In the United Kingdom, the number has reached 4 million, with losses per individual reaching up to £9,000.

Fraud is traditionally identified when it has happened or is in the process of happening. Therefore, it is critical that individuals and companies are alerted to potential risk as early as possible so that they maximize loss prevention.

Using Pneuron, C6 will be able to identify, notify and interdict fraudulent activities much earlier in the lifecycle than any current industry process. The company will now be able to focus its resources on the various events that potentially trigger criminal activity. Examples include, when an identity is stolen, when that identity moves or is for sale in the “dark web.”

“Identity theft and resulting fraud will impact every one of us over the next decade. With the digitization of the retail market and social media, industrial-level fraud has shifted to focus on the consumer. We want our customers to understand an exposure, have time to act much earlier and avoid the stress caused by having to rectify stolen and illegally used credentials. We can only win the battle against criminal fraud with the powerful, distributed intelligence gathering and analysis that C6 and Pneuron together provide,” said Darren Innes, CEO of C6. “C6 combined with Pneuron’s unique abilities will be at the forefront of that battle.”

“Addressing fraud and identity theft with C6 is a great use case for Pneuron. Fraud represents a complex business problem that has long been considered insurmountable due to constantly changing data types, criminal techniques and accelerating timelines. With Pneuron, C6 has the ability to design, build and deploy uniquely powerful analysis and interdiction tools across constantly changing technology environments, without the traditional costs and risks of systems integration, infrastructure and manual resources,” said Simon Moss, CEO of Pneuron. “It is a game changer for this market and hopefully just in time given the growing magnitude of fraud and identity theft in the enterprise and consumer markets. Many thanks for C6 for an opportunity to work with them in such an exciting market opportunity.”

C6 Intelligence sees 300% increase in Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Reports

C6 Intelligence sees 300% increase in Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Reports

As one of the co-founders of C6 Intelligence I am very excited that our Enhanced Due Diligence Team have been so successful this year and look forward to 2013 being even better.

Paul Renner

Co-Founder C6 Intelligence

For immediate release

11 December 2012

C6 Intelligence sees 300% increase in Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Reports

London, UK – C6 Intelligence Information Systems has seen a three-fold increase in its Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) operation in the past 12 months and predicts further substantial growth in 2013.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is the process of revalidation of a customer’s identity, their companies and relationships, and analysis of relevant risk factors associated with conducting business transactions with that customer, be it an individual or a business.

Director of C6 Intelligence’s Enhanced Due Diligence Operation, Colin Holder said, “Due to the current financial climate and regulations, banks and financial organisations want to protect themselves against fraud and money laundering investigations by documenting their client profiles. Our C6 Intelligence EDD reports are the preferred choice for our clients because our advanced systems and processes allow us to go into greater depth in our research reports than our competitors, without incurring increased costs.”

C6 Intelligence EDD reports contain information on:

Subject identifiers

Detailed analysis of relevant business and personal relationships

Relevant media / litigation profile

Detailed risk factors

All reports are fully sourced from public record data.

Mr Holder continues, “We found that our clients needed enhanced personal identifiers and business background checks, which required a level of in-country knowledge that their existing solutions could not provide. Our EDD reports include confirming connections to known close personal associates and their aliases. In addition, the clarity of our researchers evaluations on ‘Jurisdictional Risk’ and ‘PEP (Political Exposed Person) Risk’ have been enthusiastically received.

C6 Intelligence Managing Director Richard Bensberg confirmed, “The increase in uptake of our EDD reports is a function of our investment in the product, which was revamped last year with a new reporting format, and with the additional expertise of a newly created specialist EDD Analyst unit incorporating multi-lingual Analysts with advanced research and analytical skills, able to create compliant EDD solutions for clients across a range of industries.”
