CDA is a not-for-profit organisation that works with member banks to jointly tackle cyber-crime and protect the public and financial sector from criminal activity.

Constella Intelligence is a global leader in Digital Risk Protection and has the most extensive breach and social data collection from the surface, deep and dark web on the planet, with over 100 billion attributes and 66 billion curated identity records spanning 125 countries and 53 languages.

The goal of the partnership is to help identify cybercriminals targeting global banks and disrupt fraud in the sector by maximizing the intelligence reach to protect bank staff, customers, and assets from cybercrime. This partnership will enable greater data sharing between key cyber intelligence stakeholders and streamline the processes and technology used to escalate criminal activity to law enforcement to protect the banking sector.“The partnership with Constella enables the CDA to accelerate cyber-crime investigations. Their services allow us to identify criminal activity with a breadth of investigative tools,” said Steven Wilson, CEO of the CDA. “Our mission is to continue to protect our members, disrupt criminal activity, and make customers safer.”

The partnership helps keep Constella and the CDA abreast of technological innovations and investigative approaches to anticipating and identifying cyber-crime in the financial sector. It will combine Constella’s agile product development approach with daily exposure to cyber-crime investigation approaches. Thus, the CDA is championing OSINT automation and Constella’s powerful investigative technology for the frontline.

“Partnering with CDA reinforces our commitment to fighting cyber-crime, specifically in the banking sector,” said Kailash Ambwani, CEO of Constella Intelligence. “We look forward to fostering a strong relationship with CDA and continuing to help in the global mission of defeating digital risk.”
