Selected amongst 65,000 active members, Turgeon vouches to battle fraud while ensuring personal privacy and enterprise growth in the Anti-Fraud Resource Guide published by Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/17/2013 -- M-CAT Enterprises (M-CAT) today announced CEO and global security expert Anyck Turgeon has been recognized in the 2013 Anti-Fraud Resource Guide (second edition). The guide is published quarterly by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the world's largest organization of anti-fraud professionals. Selected amongst 65,000 active members, Turgeon is an Austin-based Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). She has successfully fought white collar crime, globally, with tech innovation for more than 25 years.

TURGEON'S LIFETIME FIGHT AGAINST WHITE COLLAR CRIME:
From an early start in her career, beginning at the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), Turgeon has upheld technology in the arrest of white collar criminals. It was there she discovered and worked on the largest securities fraud in Canada's history, the Connacher's Bay Street $1B "bought deals." The scheme, orchestrated by Gordon Capital Corp. CEO James Connacher, required securities dealers to pay companies in advance for public issues.

Connacher's mid-size investment firm became one of the heaviest financial hitters, involved in nearly every major takeover deal. Gordon Capital wooed the institutional market by accounting for 15%-70% of daily trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and setting trading records on the American Stock Exchange. As a result of over-extending its financial position and undercapitalizing loans against massive amounts of securities, Connacher was fined, trading activities were ceased and the firm was brought down to its official disappearance in 1998.

Turgeon's technological expertise led to simultaneous engagements in fraud prevention, detection and resolution at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), Thompson Corporation (TC) and Toronto Dominion Bank/Visa Center.

Turgeon credits her success to learning from the following "best leaders" on how to deter fraud and apply technologies towards prevention: George Olah (OSC), James Bailey (TSX), Joseph Oliver (OSC now Honorable Canadian Minister of Natural Resources), Gil Remillard (former Quebec Minister of International Relations), Marc Pearl (TC), Bradley Foster (TC) and Kenneth Thomson, owner of Thomson Corporation and founder of the famous law and anti-fraud solutions WESTLAW now sold under Thomson Reuters. Inspired by their guidance, Turgeon turned her focus and career towards gaining mastery of innovative technologies.

Throughout her tech years in the United States – especially in the Silicon Valley and Silicon Hills –Turgeon has continued to improve her technological expertise to successfully help numerous victims recover from a variety of embezzlement and financial misconduct cases. CEO Eddy Coenye and elderly couple CEO Jerry Claar and his wife Roe, for example, were assisted in stopping embezzlers, recovering stolen assets and gaining punitive damages – thanks to Turgeon's tech innovation and mastery.

Already uniquely qualified as a data management and data warehousing expert, as well as a certified fraud examiner, Turgeon is the first certified female data scientist, crowned last month. Combining her latest expertise and premier executive management training from Harvard University and McCombs School of Business / University of Texas and ongoing SANS training in digital forensics, Turgeon is taking the battle to the front line to change the fight against white collar crime with tech innovation.

"Learning one in three decision makers currently do not feel comfortable with the completeness and validity of the data they use is understandable," says Turgeon. "The gap, unfortunately, expands for fraud fighters, prosecutors and victims," she confirms.

As an Inmon-certified data scientist—the most sought after experts worldwide—Turgeon can leverage structured data, big data and other unstructured raw content with textual disambiguation to achieve higher analytical velocity and accuracy.

"By accessing and parsing through up to 80 percent of unutilized corporate data, M-CAT Enterprises can anticipate, identify and eliminate fraudulent activity and security breaches across the enterprise pro-actively as well as help victims secure recovery with much more compelling evidence," explains Turgeon.

Now at the forefront of shaping the anti-fraud solutions for the twenty-first century, Turgeon and her firm M-CAT Solutions can deliver cutting edge solutions for

- High-wealth individuals and celebrities concerned about fraud scandals;
- Corporate executives and governmental decision makers interested in preventing, detecting and resolving fraud incidents promptly and efficiently;
- Venture capitalists, shareholders and board members desiring broader, more efficient and more accurate risk assessments;
- Defrauded leaders, retired professionals and other consumer victims requiring stolen asset recovery and seeking punitive damages.

Turgeon has been a member of the International Association of Financial Crime Investigators (IACFI) and serves on ACFE's advisory board member. To review Turgeon's featured interview, visit: http://mcatenterprises.com/?attachment_id=803.

M-CAT expands its digital forensics and business analytics offerings with ground-breaking mastery of textual disambiguation to prevent, detect and resolve white collar schemes while ensuring enterprise growth.

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/06/2013 -- M-CAT Enterprises (M-CAT) today announced CEO and global security expert Anyck Turgeon has become one of twelve Inmon-certified data scientists worldwide. Upon completing Bill Inmon's ground-breaking masters-level course in textual disambiguation over big and other unstructured data, Turgeon is the first certified female data scientist among an elite group of highly sought-after experts. Already uniquely qualified to merge and analyze a vast array of advanced data management solutions and applications, and a certified fraud examiner (CFE), Turgeon can now skillfully parse through up to 80 percent of unutilized corporate data to anticipate, identify and eliminate fraudulent activity and security breaches across the enterprise.

TEXTUAL DISAMBIGUATION RESOLVES A CRITICAL BUSINESS PROBLEM: According to Bill Inmon, the father of data warehousing, standard computing systems are only capable of analyzing 20 percent of entire data set views. Corporate executives and other decision makers are required to render critical decisions daily based on very limited and incomplete data sets. This has been leading large corporations to under-estimate risk and face unpleasant survival decisions as opposed to developing a solid industry leadership posture.

To resolve potential business catastrophes and move beyond today's limited data analytic views, Inmon, one of the top seven most influential people in the history of computers, has dedicated the past five years of his legendary career to develop textual disambiguation with global big data expert Krish Krishnan. While larger open-source software frameworks like Hadoop enable parallel distributed processing to analyze petabytes of data and can handle clusters of data in native format, it is Inmon's technological discoveries in textual disambiguation that enables big data scientists to access the valuable information captured in unstructured textual data.

Inmon's exclusive group of certified data scientists are the first to possess hands-on expertise in textual disambiguation and are naturally becoming the most sought-after resource in the high tech industry. Turgeon can perform a vast array of complex tasks like decomposing compressed raw data into meaningful data elements, applying contextual taxonomies and ontologies, removing stop words and performing complex analysis.

After successfully deploying data warehousing technologies and noticing their operational usage for 20 years in organizations such as CIBC, CCPEDQ, Scotia Bank, Alcan, General Motors, Nike and Imperial Life, Turgeon quickly saw the benefits in acquiring Inmon's latest complex training in textual disambiguation. "Implementing textual disambiguation enables enterprises of all sizes to dissect, explore and analyze much larger, compressed and unorganized raw data sets that could not be considered before—in a revolutionary rapid, highly-repetitive and costs-saving manner," explains Turgeon.

In general, corporate executives, managers and investors can now demand and fully expect to be provided with entire data set views and scientific analysis to render better and faster decisions. Enabling CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CISOs and CROs to board members and investors to gain access to four times more customers, market and product or service information, claims Turgeon, can lead to

- Gaining new business offerings, including more compelling and lucrative bundled packages.
- Securing sudden investment growth opportunities.
- Rapidly deploying business model turnarounds for enhanced profitability and market leadership.
- Trending and detecting massive fraudulent schemes by surfacing complex relationships through machine-empowered analysis while avoiding the risks of automated approaches like high rate of false positives.
- Reducing unnecessary corporate costs including fraud and inappropriately measured risks.
- Increasing revenue opportunities of at least 20 percent within as little as two to three years.

Data scientists are already recognized as a rare breed of innovative technologists and can cost between $350 to $1,000 per hour. The multiple benefits international expert Turgeon bring to decision makers can provide such competitive advantages that enterprise should be able to gain substantial return-on-investment within a relatively short period to time and, potentially escalate their Fortune or Global 500 rankings.

M-CAT takes the lead in ensuring the growth of small to large corporations and governments while reducing the costs and liabilities caused by fraud and security challenges.

M-CAT’s CEO Anyck Turgeon Attests to 400% Trend Increase In U.S.-Based Chemical Incidents Since 2010

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/20/2013 -- As a result of on-site preliminary assessment performed by global security expert Anyck Turgeon, M-CAT Enterprises (M-CAT) is releasing three informational resources to help raise the understanding and awareness of chemical safety issues: i) a Firestorm interview revealing initial alarming on-site findings ii) a comprehensive article exposing the economics of poor chemical security practices and providing ten easily implemented recommendations iii) link to a live interview on May 29, 2013 to address other security challenges and best practices towards fire avoidance in manufacturing and/or storage facilities containing toxic and explosive chemicals such as fertilizers.

The devastating explosion at a West Texas fertilizer storage facility killing 15 people, injuring more than 200 and leveling surrounding homes and businesses in a four-block radius exposes a chilling trend in the way chemical safety is managed in the United States. According to the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), chemical incidents have increased by an alarming 400 percent in the United States since 2010. "This is alarming," says chemical security, safety and fraud expert Turgeon. "And to complicate matters, a disturbing percentage of plant managers and other respondents - nearly 25 percent – are not likely to report an incident out of fear of retaliation. This is happening globally and gets worst in other countries".

While eyes are on Texas over this large-scale tragedy, governments and energy corporate leaders worldwide must proactively reassess their current production, transportation and safety postures, adopt more collaborative and comprehensive security compliance programs as well as provide training and tools required for staff to complete tasks safely and efficiently.
