26.4.2023 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Fusion Risk Management, Inc. (“Fusion” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cloud-based operational resilience, business continuity, and risk management software and services, today announced a strategic growth investment from Great Hill Partners, a leading growth-oriented private equity firm. The majority investment will allow Fusion to enhance its go-to-market and product innovation capabilities, while continuing to accelerate the pursuit of several attractive organic and inorganic growth opportunities. Existing investor Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) will remain a significant minority shareholder in Fusion, along with Catalyst Investors and Level Equity Management. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Fusion has grown rapidly in recent years as organizations in regulated and non-regulated end markets shift from reactive approaches to proactive, real-time frameworks that unite risk across employees, third parties, processes, and technologies. The Company’s leading platform empowers its diverse base of 400+ blue chip customers with the knowledge and workflows they need to better mitigate threats, minimize downtime, maintain operational resilience, and sustain critical operations in the face of unexpected crises such as pandemics, geopolitical events, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and more.
“As the risk landscape continues to evolve, now more than ever businesses need an agile and flexible operational resilience framework to navigate disruption and drive sustainable growth," said Michael Campbell, CEO of Fusion Risk Management. “Today’s milestone is a testament to Fusion’s capabilities in delivering data-driven, actionable insights that enable customers to develop dynamic plans and proactively address the risks and disruptions that have become ‘business as usual.’ We’re confident that Great Hill will be an invaluable partner as we leverage their deep industry expertise and resources to further unlock the potential of our platform and accelerate our mission to make true business resiliency a reality.”
“Fusion is a clear leader in the risk management space, driving unparalleled value for its customers by providing them with the comprehensive tools they need to become more aware, prepared, and resilient,” said Chris Busby, Managing Director at Great Hill. “The Company fits the exact profile of the type of business we aim to invest in: high-growth companies that are driving transformative change in their industries. Leveraging our significant software and growth-investment experience, Fusion has tremendous potential to capitalize on opportunities ahead amid significant compliance and regulatory tailwinds and to continue deepening its strong, longstanding customer relationships. We’re excited to partner with Michael, the entire management team, and Vista to strengthen Fusion’s position at the forefront of operational resilience and risk management software.”
“Since our partnership began, Fusion and Vista have been focused on transforming the Company into a leading platform through product innovation and scaling its go-to-market capabilities to meet customers’ growing demand to build resilient organizations,” said René Yang Stewart, Co-Head of Vista’s Endeavor Fund and Senior Managing Director. “We are thrilled to continue this momentum by welcoming Great Hill Partners and embarking on the next chapter of Fusion’s growth trajectory.”
In addition to Fusion Risk Management, Great Hill Partners' portfolio of enterprise software companies includes eloomi, BigChange, Auvik, Varicent, Totango, and Intapp, among several others. Prior software investments include Reflexis Systems, Reward Gateway, PlanSource, ZoomInfo, and more.

The Only AI Crypto Lead Prioritization Solution Built With Law Enforcement, for Law Enforcement: Elliptic Launches Pulse24.9.2026 16:15:00 EEST | Press release
Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk, today launched Pulse. Pulse puts crypto lead prioritization directly in the hands of every frontline law enforcement and government officer. Crypto now touches every part of law enforcement, from the patrol officer on the street to the detective assigned to investigate the case. Pulse gives each of them a quick, accurate financial summary and a starting point: whether that's a crypto address on a suspect's phone, in a scam ATM victim's receipt, uncovered during a vehicle or pocket search, or found at the scene of an overdose, an arrest, or a seizure. An officer can input anything that looks like a wallet address or transaction hash. Pulse identifies it, reasons over the result, and returns a summary in plain language, enough for the officer to decide on the spot whether the case needs escalation. If a case needs further investigation, one click sends the full analysis forward, not just the evidence. The criminal investigations division gets
SymphonyAI Introduces Symphony Risk Intelligence, an Agent-native Platform That Unlocks Always-on Compliance™ — the Catalyst for Transforming the Financial Crime Operating Model24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI today introduced Symphony Risk Intelligence (SRI), an enterprise-grade, agent-native platform built to unlock Always-on Compliance™. This is a critical shift from periodic to continuous risk and compliance management, in which institutions continuously reassess risk and adapt controls as regulations, threats and business activity change, rather than waiting for the next scheduled review. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260924914614/en/ Current approaches have reached their structural limits. The FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, released recently by SymphonyAI and AML Intelligence, finds just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, and 76.3% still review alerts manually or with only partial automation — barely changed year over year. Yet standing still isn't an option: the regulatory climate is at a major inflection point across ev
Just 4.7% of Financial Institutions Continuously Update Their Compliance Monitoring and Controls as Risk Changes, New Research Finds24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI, a global leader in vertical AI product platforms, and AML Intelligence, the leading source of news and insight for the financial crime compliance community, today released the FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, finding that most financial institutions still rely on periodic review cycles to manage financial crime risk, even as the threats and regulations they are meant to track continue to evolve dynamically. Based on the perspectives of more than 200 financial crime and compliance leaders, including senior leaders from major global financial institutions, the research finds that just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, while 56.8% have not adopted always-on compliance monitoring at all, are only exploring it, or remain at an early, pilot-stage level. The finding points to a structural gap: financial crime typologies, payment ecosystems and regulatory expectations are evolving continuously, while most c
