Next-Gen Fraud Protection: Outpace AI Fraud
The Ortus Club, together with AWS and Vonage, invites Technology and Security leaders to an evening of great food, candid conversation, and meaningful peer exchange. This intimate dinner roundtable brings together senior executives navigating the evolving fraud landscape to share strategies, challenge assumptions, and explore what it truly takes to stay ahead of AI-driven threats — all in a relaxed, off-the-record setting.
The Topic
Next-Gen Fraud Protection: Outpace AI Fraud
In financial services, trust is tested at every moment of risk — from account creation and authentication to high-stakes transactions and fraud alerts. Traditional approaches to fraud prevention and customer verification were built for a different era. They often introduce friction precisely when confidence matters most, frustrating legitimate customers while sophisticated bad actors find ways around them.
The emergence of AI-powered fraud has raised the stakes further. Deepfakes, synthetic identities, and automated social engineering are accelerating faster than legacy defences can adapt. Yet the same technologies driving these threats also hold the key to outpacing them. Leading financial institutions are rethinking the entire customer trust journey — combining secure, AI-enabled cloud infrastructure with mobile network intelligence and verified communications to build seamless, confidence-inspiring experiences at every touchpoint.
The question is no longer whether to modernise, but how to do so without sacrificing the frictionless experience customers demand. This roundtable will explore:
How can institutions deliver next-gen fraud protection without creating friction for legitimate customers?
How can every customer engagement be used to strengthen brand trust?
How can AI-driven experiences replace rigid self-service tools while building customer confidence?
This is a peer exchange, not a pitch. Expect candid insights from leaders across banks, fintechs, and traditional institutions who are actively modernising customer engagement — and a closer look at how the combination of cloud infrastructure and mobile network intelligence can create operational coherence across the trust journey.
