Traditional fraud prevention method, especially in the financial ecosystem, are struggling to keep pace with the evolving nature of these threats.

This session will explore emerging strategies and collaborative approaches being taken across industries to detect, prevent, and mitigate scams. Drawing on examples such as how to improve upstream threat sharing and citizen awareness whilst highlighting broader trends and best practices for building more resilient defences against this growing threat.
