This session will explore the critical role of Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the financial services industry as it faces increasing threats and evolving regulations. Panelists will discuss the rise of generative AI attacks, including deepfakes and AI-driven fraud schemes, and how these technologies are being exploited by cybercriminals and rogue actors. They will share insights into the latest trends in identity infrastructure and the measures being taken to protect against these sophisticated threats.
The conversation will also highlight proactive approaches to identity security, with a focus on how leading institutions are using fraud fusion centers to integrate IT, cybersecurity, and fraud prevention efforts. Panelists will address the impacts of rapidly changing regulations, such as privacy laws and anti-money laundering frameworks, on IAM strategies and compliance.
Additionally, the session will examine the resilience of identity systems in the face of outages and potential exploitation, especially as financial services increasingly move to cloud-based infrastructure. The panel will also provide practical advice on fostering cross-functional collaboration within large organizations to enhance security, manage risks, and ensure governance compliance.
