Behavox’s expanding presence spans major global markets and all capital markets sectors:

  • 10 out of 24 Global Systematically Important Banks (GSIB) are Behavox customers.
  • 6 out of 10 largest Japanese financial conglomerates rely on Behavox.
  • 5 of the 20 largest European banks utilize more than 2 Behavox products and services.
  • Partnering with 5 of the 15 largest hedge fund managers globally.
  • Powering surveillance at 3 of the 10 largest private equity firms worldwide.
  • Serving 5 of the 10 largest global energy, mining, and commodities majors.

The growth reflects accelerating demand for an AI-native controls platform designed to deliver defensibility-grade Integrated Surveillance Capabilities - the ability to prove, end-to-end:

  1. How regulatory obligations translate into policies
  2. How policies translate into preventive and detective controls
  3. How alerts translate into case outcomes with complete evidence lineage; and
  4. How outcomes feed back into improvements in policy, training, and supervision.

Continued expansion of the Behavox Unified Controls Platform brings together communications surveillance (Quantum), regulatory data retention (Intelligent Archive), and policy management (Pathfinder) with unified workflow and evidence lineage.

Most notably, in 2025 Behavox introduced Polaris, its trade surveillance product. Polaris operates independently or alongside Quantum, enabling firms to unify communications and trade surveillance within a single framework and a single, governed case workflow.

Polaris leverages agentic AI within governed investigation workflows to automatically pull related chats, emails, voice recordings, and archived records into a single case with complete contextual visibility and defensible evidence lineage. This improves investigative reproducibility and defensibility under regulatory scrutiny while also reducing manual investigation time.

The platform supports 9 asset classes out of the box:

  • Fixed Income (including Rates & Credit)
  • Foreign Exchange (FX)
  • Commodities
  • Equities
  • Money Markets
  • Structured Products
  • Funds & Collective Investment Schemes (CIS)
  • Environmental Products
  • Digital Assets

With this breadth of coverage, Polaris establishes Behavox as a compelling alternative to legacy providers such as NASDAQ SMARTS, NICE Actimize, and TradingHub. The product is currently in preview with select customers, with General Availability scheduled for Q2 of this year.

Behavox has already been invited to participate in a number of RFPs and competitive tenders for trade surveillance, reflecting strong market demand for a unified platform capable of delivering surveillance coverage across asset classes while improving control effectiveness - including higher capture (recall) of real misconduct - within a defensible controls framework.

“We’re seeing very strong demand for Polaris because it extends that closed-loop model across both communications and trade surveillance,” said Nabeel Ebrahim, Chief Revenue Officer of Behavox. “Customers want to lower total cost of ownership and simplify their surveillance stack without compromising defensibility.”

“Our continued financial strength and profitability allow us to deliver high-performance solutions at a compelling cost,” said Kiryl Trembovolski, Chief Operating Officer of Behavox. “We are increasingly engaging CFOs who want to reduce structural compliance spend and reallocate capital from defensive controls toward growth initiatives that strengthen the balance sheet.”
