In this episode.
Financial fraud is a full-blown epidemic. Geoff White, Investigative Journalist and Author of Rinsed jumps in the hot seat to explain the current landscape, what the future might look like, and how getting back to the basics of employee engagement might be the best defence companies have against fraudsters.
Key highlights:
- Social media and a cashless society are accelerating money laundering through unexpected avenues like gaming and cryptocurrency.
- 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
