Appearances:
Day 1 @ 16:00
Fraud wars: AI, regulation, and real-time defense in the identity economy
Fraudsters now operate at machine speed. Soups Ranjan will strip away the buzzwords and map the real battlefield:
- How generative AI is weaponized for synthetic IDs, deepfake onboarding, and bot-driven account takeovers;
- The counter-AI stack: from human-like behavior to device signals that stop attacks without torching user experience
- Why the patchwork of U.S. state bills (e.g., California’s SB 362, New York’s digital-ID pilot) matters
- A data-backed look at fraud shift. Why losses are migrating from payments to account origination and what that signals for 2026.
Attendees leave with a two-minute diagnostic they can run on their own orgs Monday morning and a playbook for aligning fraud, risk, and product teams around real-time signals designed to catch the most sophisticated synthetic IDs.
