Re: fraud detection software for a bank

I believe that this is not a matter of proprietary or open source. As mentioned by gold flake it is about trust.

So what makes you think going open source? If reducing cost is your motives you might want to re-calculate again the TOTAL operation cost not just the software but including everything from software, developments to training. 

Open source will be more flexible (usually) but it needs time before you can achieve certain desired performance. Development may cost more than going for proprietary software.

Hope this give you some insight.

This is a fairly complicated issue and I am not sure an open source
solution is suitable, much less available.  Please talk to some market
leaders in this field or companies selling DLP solutions.  And for
god's sake be willing to spend some money on this.  As a bank, you are
not just protecting your customers' money but earning their trust.
