How does information sharing work?
Member firms can submit intelligence via the FIFC portal. A
dedicated team of FIFC analysts analyzes the information internally
and, where appropriate, develops intelligence products and potential
threat notifications for dissemination to participating firms. FINRA
will not share raw information or submitter attributes.
Are firms able to search for information proactively?
Yes, the portal includes search capabilities allowing firms to
proactively search for relevant published intelligence by topic and
type.
Is there a notification system?
Yes, the portal includes a notification system. Future enhancements
are planned to allow firms to:
- subscribe to specific topics of interest;
-
receive alerts about specific topics and targeted notifications;
and
- opt in or out of different types of notifications.
