Founded in 2009, Sybenetix was a market-leading surveillance and behavioral analytics firm based in the UK. The company specialized in using artificial intelligence and cognitive computing to help financial institutions detect and analyze market abuse, insider trading, and other misconduct. Their software provided a holistic view of an individual's trading conduct, identifying suspicious patterns that traditional systems might miss. In July 2017, Sybenetix was acquired by Nasdaq and its technology was integrated into Nasdaq's Market Technology business, enhancing its Smarts surveillance solutions to provide more advanced, AI-powered compliance tools for banks, regulators, and brokers.
