Cognyte to Showcase Financial Crimes Investigation Technology at IAFCI International Conference

Key Terms

open-source intelligence technical

Open-source intelligence is the practice of gathering useful information from publicly available sources—like news articles, social media posts, government filings, patent databases, satellite imagery, and web archives—and assembling it to form a clearer picture of a company, market, or event. For investors it matters because these public clues can reveal risks and opportunities (for example supply-chain problems, regulatory issues, or shifts in demand) earlier than formal reports—like finding puzzle pieces that help you judge whether an investment story is true or shaky.

beneficial ownership regulatory

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

blockchain intelligence technical

Blockchain intelligence is the set of tools and analytic methods used to trace, map and interpret transactions and addresses on public blockchain networks. Like a digital forensics lab or traffic-camera network for crypto, it helps reveal patterns, ownership links, compliance risks, and the provenance of tokens, which investors use to assess transparency, counterparty risk, and potential exposure to fraud or illicit activity.

decision intelligence technical

Decision intelligence is a discipline that combines data, predictive models and human judgment to design, test and improve business decisions, using analytics and automation to forecast outcomes and compare trade-offs. For investors it matters because companies that apply decision intelligence can allocate capital more effectively, reduce costly errors and react faster to changing conditions — like using a GPS that blends maps, live traffic and your destination to pick the best route.

HERZLIYA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT) (“Cognyte”), a global leader in software-driven technology for investigative analytics, today announced the company will feature its latest technology innovations at the 2026 International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators (IAFCI) International Conference. Cognyte is a Gold Sponsor of the event.

WHAT: The IAFCI International Conference is the premier global forum for professionals dedicated to combating financial crimes, hosted annually by the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators. The event brings together law enforcement, banking, cybersecurity, retail and investigative experts from around the world to share insights, strategies and innovations.

WHO: Speak with Cognyte experts and view demonstrations of Cognyte’s latest technology for financial crimes investigations, including NEXYTE, Cognyte's AI-powered decision intelligence platform. NEXYTE helps investigators fuse data from across the financial ecosystem, automate complex investigative workflows, uncover hidden relationships and turn fragmented information into actionable intelligence faster than ever before.

WHEN: August 25-27, 2026, during exhibit hall hours.

WHERE: Booth #18 at IAFCI International Conference at the Grand Hyatt Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee.

WHY: Financial crime investigations are becoming increasingly complex and data intensive. Traditional investigative approaches create information silos that limit visibility, slow decision-making and make it more difficult to identify sophisticated criminal networks. Domain-specific AI and financial open-source intelligence (OSINT) are reshaping financial crime investigations, making it easy to seamlessly combine corporate records, beneficial ownership data, sanction and watchlist data, blockchain intelligence and more into a single investigative environment. This capability reveals hidden networks, accelerates investigations and enables faster, more informed decisions.

Speaking Session:
Breaking Down Silos in Financial Crimes Investigations
Wednesday, August 26, 4:10 PM
Location: Main Stage (Grand Hall D)
Speaker: Daniel Kurz

Cognyte Financial Crime Consultant, Daniel Kurz will deliver a presentation at the event, showing how traditional investigations are hindered by siloed data and the blind spots this creates. Modern policy and improved OSINT sharing are driving a shift towards a single, unified intelligence system. The presentation details how an international FIU organization leveraged AI-driven decision intelligence to fuse multiple data sources into a unified environment to accelerate an international money laundering investigation and case resolution.

Attendees will gain insights into how decision intelligence enhances collaboration, improves intelligence sharing and enables investigators to identify illicit financial activity with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. This session is ideal for law enforcement, financial crime investigators, intelligence professionals and compliance leaders seeking to modernize investigative capabilities.
