This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics took a forward-thinking turn by honoring John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton (the "godfather" of #AI) for their groundbreaking contributions to artificial intelligence. 🤖 But this isn’t just about celebrating history; it’s about how AI is shaping the present and future. Why does this matter to us in banking and digital security? Because AI isn’t just another trendy buzzword. It’s transforming how we operate, protect, and innovate. From fraud detection and prevention to biometric authentication and customer experience, AI-based solutions are powering the next era of secure, efficient digital banking. Threats like deepfakes, phishing, and account takeovers are becoming more and more sophisticated, and traditional security measures fall short. Imagine receiving a call from your CEO asking for an urgent transfer. The voice is unmistakable, but what if it wasn’t your CEO at all? This is where AI-driven fraud prevention steps in, using advanced tools to verify the authenticity of interactions and guard against these evolving threats. Hopfield and Hinton’s work laid the foundation for AI technologies that financial institutions can now use to rise against fraud and secure customers’ interactions. #cybersecurity #NobelPrize #DigitalTransformation #BankingSecurity #innovation #FraudPrevention #ArtificialIntelligence #deepfakes

For yet another year, Forum Banca in Milan proved to be incredibly insightful for our team! 🙌 During a Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Round Table session, Stefano shared the stage with Pietro Giorgio Rocca, Petra Chiste, and Giovanni Ceriani, discussing the balancing act between security and user experience (UX)—a challenge that the financial industry continues to face as we strive to deliver both. Here are some of the key takeaways from the session: - The ongoing challenge of balancing security vs. UX: Can we ensure 24/7 protection while maintaining a seamless user experience? - AI brings new challenges to the table, creating more sophisticated attack scenarios that require advanced strategies to mitigate. - A shift is needed from the traditional siloed data view to a cross-correlation approach, utilizing multiple data sources to improve fraud detection and security measures. A huge thanks to Matteo Rizzi, who moderated the discussion! We’re proud of our team, including Gaetano and Dennis, for representing us and sharing our vision of building a safer digital environment.

We are proud to be a sponsor at Forum Banca 2024, taking place tomorrow,  October 2nd, in Milan! 🇮🇹 Stefano, along with Gaetano and Dennis, will represent Futurae at this premier event dedicated to shaping the future of banking and finance. 💬 Stefano will participate in a Round Table discussion on the critical question: Is it possible to ensure 24/7 security, improve the UX, and protect customers from themselves? Key topics for the session include: - Strengthening security during digital onboarding with an AML (Anti-Money Laundering) perspective. - Detecting fraud with advanced technologies in an era where AI increases the number of attack scenarios. - Inserting triggers to help the customer understand whether a transaction is secure: what behavioral analysis strategies can be implemented? We’re excited to contribute to the discussions on the future of banking security and innovation. Looking forward to connecting with industry experts and leaders at Forum Banca 2024!

🔐 Why does the first login matter so much in banking? For financial institutions, the first login isn’t just a routine step—it’s the foundation of secure customer relationships. The first time a customer logs in from a new device is when they are most vulnerable to attacks like spoofing or man-in-the-middle exploits. If banks fail to secure this step, they leave the door wide open for fraudsters to compromise the account. 🔍 Key Facts: - Many banks still rely on usernames, passwords, and one-time codes (OTPs), but these methods are becoming increasingly outdated and vulnerable to phishing and social engineering attacks. - Phishing attempts have surged dramatically since the rise of AI tools. Infosecurity Magazine reports a staggering 4151% increase in phishing attempts following the launch of ChatGPT. - Generative AI has made phishing more accessible and effective, escalating the challenge of fraud detection for financial institutions. 💡 What Can Banks Do?  Banks must rethink their approach to authentication. Advanced technologies such as biometric authentication and AI-driven fraud detection can better protect customers from the very first login. Staying ahead requires more than just traditional security. It demands a proactive, future-proof approach. Institutions that take extra steps to secure this critical first login will not only reduce fraud risks but also boost customer trust by demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding their accounts from the start. #authentication #fraud #BankingSecurity #FraudPrevention #DigitalTransformation #DigitalBanking #CustomerTrust

🤖 In a bold move to fight the growing threat of AI-driven scams, Santander has launched a UK-based campaign using deepfake technology to demonstrate how easily fake videos and audio can deceive people. The campaign features realistic deepfake videos of Santander’s Fraud Lead, Chris Ainsley, and financial influencer Mr Money Jar. The goal is to shock and educate the public by making them realize that if even trusted figures can be convincingly faked, anyone could fall victim to these sophisticated scams. New data reveals a concerning gap in public awareness: over half of Brits (53%) have either never heard of the term "deepfake" or misunderstand what it means. Even more alarming, only 17% feel confident they could easily identify a deepfake video. 📈 The line between real and fake is increasingly blurred, and understanding and mitigating the risks associated with deepfakes is critical. This campaign can serve as one more wake-up call to the banking industry; as deepfakes become more sophisticated, so too must our security measures. The risk of identity theft and fraud increases with the rise of generative AI, making it crucial for banks and overall financial institutions to invest in advanced authentication technologies and security protocols. #deepfakes #GenerativeAI #fraud #BankingSecurity #AI #CyberSecurity #FraudPrevention #DigitalTransformation

🌐 New EU rules on digital resilience: Are you ready? The EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires financial institutions to bolster their defenses against cyber threats and operational disruptions by January 2025. For those driving Digital Transformation and Operations in these organizations, this means more than just compliance—it’s an opportunity to lead with resilience and innovation. Additionally, for Digital Banking Managers and Heads of Digital Customer Experience, DORA provides an excellent pathway to build further trust with customers. 🔍 Key actions under DORA: - Incident management: Develop comprehensive strategies for detecting, preventing, and mitigating cyber threats and disruptions. - Automated workflows: Implement automated workflows for risk management and compliance reporting, which will allow for quick adaptation to new regulations and risk factors. - Vendor resilience: Ensure your vendors meet stringent operational resilience standards. DORA emphasizes due diligence and clear oversight. - Contractual clarity: All vendor contracts must clearly define roles, responsibilities, and resilience training requirements, including defined audit rights, to ensure transparency. DORA compliance isn’t just about meeting regulations – it’s about setting new standards in digital resilience and customer trust. Embrace these changes to safeguard your operations and enhance the overall user experience. #DigitalBanking #BankingInnovation #DigitalResilience #CyberSecurity #FinTech #DORA #DigitalTransformation
