  • Event tracking
  • Alerts:
    • Combined alerts on correlation between several events

The monitored data is captured from multiple sources in various formats and stored in the Sentinel data repository, with which Sentinel Monitoring communicates.
SWIFTNet Portal SWIFTNet Portal is a web application that provides a means of manually creating, validating, correcting and recycling SWIFT messages that are rejected due to processing failures in Integrator.
Transfer CFT

Transfer CFT is a tool for initiating and controlling file transfers. These transfers can be either external exchanges with business partners, or internal exchanges over a private network.

Transfer CFT performs simultaneous transfers between central sites as well as simple file transfers between work stations. These transfers occur over standard public networks using a variety of protocols.
