Trade surveillance isn’t just expanding. It’s becoming exponentially more complex.
At ENGAGE NYC 2026, Paul Cottee (NICE Actimize) joined Jonathan S. (Morgan Stanley), Ryan Seideman (TD Securities) and Eric T. Young, CAMS, ISO Compliance (Guidepost Solutions) to explore what expanding expectations really mean in today’s environment.
The conversation highlighted how quickly surveillance expectations are accelerating. New products, cross-market activity, evolving tactics and heightened scrutiny mean firms must continuously adapt (not just react).
Data is both the challenge and the opportunity. Firms are flooded with it, but success depends on quality, ownership and the ability to turn information into actionable insight.
The panel also emphasized that surveillance can’t operate in silos anymore. Risk spans products, markets and business functions, requiring stronger coordination across front office, compliance, technology and risk.
AI has an important role to play, but it is not a shortcut. Strong foundations—data integrity, governance and accountability—are what make advanced surveillance possible.
The big message: scaling surveillance today isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing it smarter, faster and more holistically.
