Exposing financial crime with powerful intelligence
Empower your team to identify and combat illicit financial activities with powerful contextual intelligence.
The Problem
Currently the industry is completely in the dark about financial crime detection
For twenty years, our approach to money laundering has been profoundly ineffective. With a detection rate of only 1%, we are failing to catch 99% of illicit activity despite massive financial investment and a dismal ROI.
This isn’t a technology failure; it’s a conceptual one. For decades, the industry has relied on anomaly detection, burying analysts in a sea of false positives because an anomaly is not synonymous with a crime. This flawed strategy has created a broken system where criminals remain in the dark, exploiting the information gaps both within and between our financial institutions. The hard truth is simple: You can’t find an enemy you haven’t defined.
$200B+ in compliance costs
Annual global cost of compliance by financial institutions.
99% False Negatives
Estimated 1% Success Rate = 99% Failure Rate in detecting financial crime, which means criminals are hiding in plain sight.
1:50+ Workload Imbalance
Legacy platforms and AI rely on context-free “red flags,” creating a 1:50+ workload ratio where analysts clear a min. of 50 noise events for every 1 legitimate risk.
The Solution
Section 2 brings light into the darkness by redefining how the world detects, disrupts, and defeats illicit financial activity
By partnering with financial institutions, government agencies, technology providers, and law enforcement, we help compliance professionals make better decisions by studying criminal financial patterns and providing actionable intelligence.
Target risks with precision
Supercharge your existing detection engine with TENet™, transforming ambiguous alerts into well-defined case candidates. Now, institutions can employ a true risk-based approach.
Revolutionize operational efficiency
Eliminate the noise that hides true risk so investigators can work smarter and deliver faster case resolution.
Strengthen regulatory defensibility & audit readiness
Our targeting packages are grounded in intelligence-driven research for documented, defensible rationales for every decision. You get the power of AI with the explainability regulators demand.
How it works
Data
Our team of experienced career intelligence and law enforcement professionals, compliance practitioners, and academic professors, bring decades of real-world operational insights to map and identify how criminals launder their illicit proceeds, to provide the missing identification and context.
Every missed pattern represents
potential harm to real people
Section 2 is on a mission to close the intelligence gap and power meaningful action. Our next-generation approach – Hybrid Threat Finance™ — enhances existing AML detection systems, fusing AI capabilities with human intelligence tradecraft to surface, structure, and contextualize risk, turning ambiguous alerts into clear action plans.
TENet™ Intelligence integrates well with your existing AML transaction monitoring systems — no rip-and-replace required. Our contextual intelligence layer enhances what you already have, delivering immediate value through your current infrastructure.
Supercharge your Transaction Monitoring System
Upgrade your existing AML detection systems
TENet™ Intelligence is designed to integrate seamlessly with leading AML transaction monitoring platforms. Instead of a full system replacement, TENet™ embeds contextual intelligence into your existing workflows, delivering immediate performance gains without operational disruption.
Real-world + academic methodology
Section 2 fuses practical investigative experience, from law enforcement and the intelligence community, with rigorous academic frameworks that bridge the gap between theory and smart detection.
Adaptive learning systems
With feedback loops that learn from every investigation, our models only become more accurate, adapting to emerging threats and patterns.
Cost-effective resource optimization
Our criminal pattern intelligence focuses teams on high-quality case candidates with clear investigation paths and actionable context, reducing investigative time per case while improving outcomes.
Restore purpose by connecting analysts to real impact
Analysts rarely see the impact of their work, leading to burnout and turnover. With Section 2 intelligence, they’ll see that they’re doing much more than just checking compliance boxes — they’re protecting people and stopping criminal networks.
