As cyber-enabled fraud, sophisticated scams, and complex financial crimes accelerate, market regulators and self-regulatory organizations are under pressure to match adversaries’ speed and scale. FINRA has responded by launching the Financial Intelligence Fusion Center as part of a broader effort to modernize oversight, enhance member firm resilience, and better protect investors and markets. Building on FINRA’s “FINRA Forward” initiatives, the Fusion Center is designed to strengthen the organization’s ability to detect, analyze, and respond to emerging cyber and fraud threats across the broker-dealer ecosystem.
