Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in modifying exposure associated with networks based on one or more events. One exemplary method includes obtaining, by a computing device, content from multiple data sources where the content includes at least one event associated with a region and where the at least one event is not associated with a payment account transaction, and assigning, by the computing device, the at least one event to a category of events based on a type of the at least one event. The method then also includes applying at least one rule to at least one operation of a payment network, for the region, based on a severity associated with exposure of the at least one event to the payment network, thereby modifying the exposure of the payment network in the region in connection with payment account transactions related to the at least one rule.

Abstract: A message tracking computing device for tracking messages is provided. The message tracking computing device includes a memory in communication with a processor. The processor is programmed to receive user input defining a message tracking scheme, the user input specifying a message index, a tracking duration, and a selected time zone, monitor data signals transmitted over a network, identify at least one candidate message based on the message index, determine, based on a source timestamp included in the at least one candidate message, a corresponding time in the selected time zone for the at least one candidate message, and track, based on the corresponding time for the at least one candidate message, the parameter specified in the message index over the tracking duration.
