What Q2 Sentinel is
Q2 Sentinel is paid fraud-monitoring software for financial institutions with online and mobile banking. It uses machine learning, behavioral analytics, and endpoint interrogation to monitor user and transaction activity in real time. It compares login, transaction, and other behavior with typical patterns to flag deviations as potential fraud, and Q2 describes it as able to help identify and suspend suspicious transactions before they take place. Endpoint analysis examines browsers and other integrated software as well as activity within the digital banking platform. Financial institutions can tailor monitoring through policy decisioning. Listed coverage includes geolocation detection and check-fraud detection for mobile remote deposit capture. Transaction scoring is available for ACH, external transfers, domestic wires, and international wires. Q2 describes Sentinel as integrated with its digital banking platform and supporting real-time fraud action. It is available on web, Android, and iOS. Pricing is on request, and the product page invites prospective customers to schedule a demo. Q2 reports a NIST Level 4 Adaptive/Resilient maturity rating for its platform security and says its Integrated Operations Center monitors client platforms 24/7/365.
