AI advances rapidly, presenting both significant opportunities and challenges for the global economy. Central banks need to be "attuned" to the dynamics of AI, said Hyun Song Shin during the launch of the BIS 2024 Annual Economic Report. 🔍 What you need to know: - Data Utilization: AI uses vast amounts of data to provide real-time insights, enabling better decision-making and risk assessment. Central banks are encouraged to use AI to sift through data for financial system vulnerabilities and enhance nowcasting abilities for economic variables. - Transformative Potential: AI can revolutionize the financial sector by improving efficiency in payments, insurance, and asset management. It also enhances central banks' capabilities in economic forecasting, risk management, and financial stability. - Cybersecurity Concerns: With AI's potential to both enhance and threaten cybersecurity, central banks need to be prepared to tackle sophisticated cyberattacks while also leveraging AI to automate threat detection. 💡 Strategic Actions: - Embrace AI: Central banks must integrate AI into their operations to stay relevant and effective. This involves not only using AI tools but also understanding and proactively managing the risks associated with it. - Collaboration and Data Sharing: Establishing a "community of practice" among banks to share AI models, data, and best practices ensures that everyone is part of the journey towards the widespread adoption of AI, overcoming resource limitations together. - Focus on Security: Given AI's potential to both aid and threaten financial stability, robust cybersecurity measures must be prioritized to stay protected against AI-driven attacks. #banking #AI #cybersecurity #DigitalTransformation #FraudDetection #FraudPrevention #AIFraud #FinTech

🔥 Today I was speaking at the The Founders Peak at Point Zero Forum in Zurich. This is not just another event for me; it was a challenge, I am frank. I do not particularly enjoy talking about myself, tell my story, my journey, but more about the future of cybersecurity. This years Point Zero Forum is an incredible gathering of 2,000 central bankers, regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, technologists, and investors. Over three days, we talked about policy, finance, and technology roadmaps, and explored latest innovations shaping our financial ecosystems. For me, this was more than just an opportunity to speak; it was a chance to connect with other passionate individuals who are committed to making a difference. It's about fostering strategic dialogues and strengthening collaborations between the public and private sectors. I am honored to be part of this gathering, not just to share my insights but to learn from the brilliant founders who were with me on stage. Thank you Elevandi team, State Secretariat for International Finance SIF and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for these amazing three days. --> website: https://lnkd.in/e3Mpc7Hp #Cybersecurity #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #DigitalTransformation #Fintech #Leadership Futurae Technologies AG photo credit Eliane Gmuender

With phishing attacks growing 40% in 2023 and AI-powered deepfakes reaching new levels of sophistication, combining great UX and high security is more important than ever. A few days ago, Philippe, CEO, took the stage at the IN BANQUE event in Paris and, during his interview, addressed some critical insights on this topic: 🔓 Fraud doesn't just affect victims financially—it has serious psychological effects as well. For companies, the consequences include significant direct and indirect costs, and potential damage to their reputation. 🧩 The most effective approach to authentication is a modular one. By using an up-to-date authentication toolbox and adapting tools based on evolving needs, companies can stay ahead of threats. 👁️🗨️ Monitoring all user interactions across all channels is crucial for detecting fraud, and it's essential to ensure this is done in a privacy-preserving manner. Philippe's insights underscore the necessity of a proactive and adaptive approach in the fight against fraud. At Futurae, we're committed to developing solutions that strike the perfect balance between security and user experience. Our goal is to protect both individuals and businesses from the emerging digital threats that surround us. For more details on how we're shaping the future of digital security, stay tuned! #InBanque2024 #InBanque #DigitalSecurity #Fintech #Cybersecurity #Innovation #FraudPrevention #AI #Phishing Next Content

A recent survey by Sanction Scanner, encompassing insights from over 400 respondents across 50+ countries, reveals the top fraud and financial crime threats facing banks and other financial institutions in 2023. 💡 Here's what they found: 1. Identity Theft (42%): The leading concern that shows how important it is to have strong measures in place to protect identities. 2. Cyberattacks and Data Breaches (28%): Notable rise, with a 1,300% increase in ransomware attacks and a surge in phishing incidents. 3. Payment Fraud and Transaction Manipulation (19%): Persistent threats impacting financial transactions. 4. Insider Fraud and Collusion (11%): Internal threats that can be challenging to detect. 🛡️ Now, let's talk about how you can stay protected against identity theft: - Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adds extra layers of security, making unauthorized access harder. - Adaptive Account Recovery: Utilizing signal-based and metadata scoring to detect and prevent unauthorized access by analyzing user behaviors and contextual signals. - AI-Driven Fraud Detection: Implementing AI systems for continuous monitoring and real-time anomaly detection. As financial crime threats become more sophisticated, it's crucial to verify that users are whom they claim to be. Let's not just stay protected but also stay vigilant and proactive. 💪 #BankingSecurity #IdentityTheft #FraudPrevention #CyberSecurity #FinTech #DigitalTransformation #AI #FinancialCrime

Futurae was excited to participate in the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2024 hosted by KuppingerCole Analysts AG, where we had a week filled with 1:1 conversations with customers, partners, and industry representatives on how the digital identity landscape is evolving. Find here some learnings from our panel that addressed "Amplified Cyber Risks of AI Innovations”. 🧠 Useful Mindset: Understanding the attacker is crucial. Who are they, what are the risk scenarios, and what motivates them? This mindset helps in crafting more effective security strategies. 🏢 Corporate Attackers: Sandra highlighted that attackers can be large corporations with scalable business models to fulfil. Recognizing this helps in anticipating their tactics and preparing defenses, breaking their incentives. 🔍 Legacy Systems: Traditional systems often have difficulties addressing changing threats quickly enough and have a siloed view of data. There is an increasing need for a more integrated approach to better identify and mitigate risks in real-time. 🔧 Best of Breed Technology: Keeping up with the evolving threat landscape requires adopting the best adaptive building blocks. Staying ahead means continually updating and refining tools and modernizing approaches. 🔓 Biometrics Challenge: One of the unsolved industry challenges is that biometric data is non-revocable. The conversation evolved on how the defense can be diversified to increase the barrier further for criminals today and in the future. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital security and identity verification. Together, we can create safer digital environments for everyone! #EIC2024 #Cybersecurity #Fraud #DigitalIdentity #AIThreats #Futurae #Innovation #TechInsights #DigitalTransformation #DataSecurity Sandra Tobler, Gaetano Mecenero, Cassidy Swafing, Mariya Dimitrova, Yvonne Hofstetter, Alen Horvat, Robert Lapes, Martin Kuppinger, Jennifer Stähler, Cindy Cerny, Christie Pugh
