Why we built it

Persistent gaps in AML/CFT landscape

In our quest to tackle these challenges, we have built AMLTRIX.

Explore the Framework

Communication Disbalance

AML, IT, and Data teams operate in silos, speaking different technical and operational languages. This misalignment leads to poorly understood requirements and suboptimal solutions, slowing down critical compliance initiatives.

Unstructured Money Laundering Typologies

Global AML authorities disseminate money laundering typologies as unlabeled and unstructured data, making it difficult for organizations to implement them effectively in compliance programs.

False Positive Overload

Excessive false positives generated by current AML systems overwhelm operational teams, significantly reducing efficiency and increasing compliance costs.

Manual Analysis Bottleneck

Most AML typologies are provided as unstructured text, forcing compliance teams to rely on labor-intensive manual analysis. This hinders the adoption of AI-driven systems in combating financial crime.

Use cases

How to use the framework?

Explore the Framework

Investigate Suspicious Transactions

By exploring money laundering techniques with indicators in AMLTRIX, analysts could pinpoint matching techniques for flagged transactions, make more informed decisions.

Understand and Map AML Rules

Explore AMLTRIX to map existing rules to adversarial techniques and align the mappings with an internal risk assessments to better detect suspicious activities.

Train AML Staff with Up-to-Date Knowledge

By using AMLTRIX which is easily navigable an up-to-date resource, AML officers could train new hires on the money laundering techniques, enabling them to quickly grasp the context.

Collaborate with Other Institutions on Emerging Threats

AMLTRIX enables financial institutions to identify new typologies, have a discussion in private or community without revealing sensitive data.

Refine AML Detection Models

Explore AMLTRIX to review detailed techniques, indicators associated with them for improved feature extraction and current features validation.

Design Business Processes

Use AMLTRIX to design a standardized investigative process for AML compliance risks monitoring.

Short explanation

How We Model Adversarial Behavior

1

We research and dissect adversarial activities, breaking them down into the tactics and techniques.

2

All data is machine-readable, versioned, and curated, making it easy to adopt or extend

3

Financial institutions, regulators, and tech teams can adopt the framework, share real-world feedback, and drive improvements

Our main idea

Tactic

Tactic

Tactics capture the high-level “why” behind actions, framing the overall objectives and providing contextual categories for the techniques.

Technique

Technique

Techniques represent the “how,” detailing the specific actions an adversary takes to achieve those tactical objectives.

Our framework streamlines AML processes by automating workflows and standardizing data, reducing operational redundancies and boosting overall efficiency.

Risk and Data Repository

A risk and data repository centralizes relevant intelligence allowing organizations to effectively analyze, monitor, and mitigate evolving financial crime threats.

FAQ

What is AMLTRIX?

AMLTRIX is an open-source knowledge graph designed to unify and standardize how financialinstitutions, regulators, and solution providers identify and mitigate money laundering (ML).Inspired by the MITRE ATT&CK® framework in cybersecurity, AMLTRIX aims to provide a dynamic,machine-readable taxonomy of tactics, techniques, and sub-techniques across core riskcategories (products, customers, channels, geographies, and internal factors). Its structure helpsbridge the gap between high-level regulatory language and day-to-day AML operations.

How can I use AMLTRIX?

AMLTRIX can be used in various ways to support AML/CFT operations, deliver actionable financial crime intelligence, and enhance your compliance architecture.
