Financial fraud is a full-blown epidemic.

- Geoff White shares how large-scale hacking and heists led him to write Rinsed, with jaw-dropping examples of fraud.
- While AI is seen as a key tool for both fraudsters and defenders, Geoff explains how traditional defences and auditing can still hold the upper hand.
- Companies can protect themselves from fraud by focusing on phishing awareness and keeping employees engaged in fraud prevention efforts
