Longstanding relationship enters new phase as leading investment bank leverages Smarsh platform to monitor electronic communications at scale

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Smarsh announced that Jefferies has selected the company’s flagship communications surveillance technology to address the growing challenge of monitoring vast and complex digital communications.

With the transition now complete, Jefferies benefits from the business-critical support of the Smarsh Global Services team, a group recognized for its expertise. This support enables risk detection across communication channels, ensuring Jefferies can proactively address increasingly complex regulatory demands.
