EP 1: Why Finance is the New Frontline in Cybercrime

Criminals are not going after the network first. They’re going straight for your payment workflows. AI enables precision impersonation at scale, creating fraud pressure that existing checks and validations can’t handle. In this kickoff session, we’ll unpack the market forces and operational realities that make finance the top entry point for high-value attacks, and reveal the gaps fraudsters exploit to slip past defenses.

You’ll learn:

• Why payment operations have become a primary target for cybercrime
• Which weaknesses in finance processes attackers rely on most
• How AI’s speed and scale are changing the risk equation for fraud prevention
