For Your Eyes Only: A View to the Future of Surveillance

When Rob Mason and I sat down at Global Relay's London office (shaken by market changes, not stirred by them 🍸), we explored the secret world of financial surveillance.

Q Branch would be fascinated - we're on the cusp of better surveillance technology, but like any good spy story, the plot is complex. From AI capabilities to data completeness, the mission has never been more critical. Yet many firms are cutting resources faster than 007 goes through Aston Martins.

The villains? False positives, data integrity issues, and the eternal challenge of doing more with less. But unlike Bond's gadgets, surveillance tech isn't quite ready to save the day... yet.

This is the finale of our 5-article series, where we conclude with a guardedly optimistic view of surveillance's future. As M might say, the world of surveillance is changing - and those who adapt will thrive.

For those keen on a deeper dive into surveillance secrets, check out my book "Behind the Screens: Understanding Employee Surveillance in Financial Services" 📚 Its available on Amazon, no exploding pen included! ✍️

Huge thanks to Global Relay for providing our MI6 headquarters for these discussions!
