    How Do We Rebuild Trust in the Face of Changing Fraud?

    Fraud today is evolving – and fast. From deepfakes to synthetic identities, attackers are adapting and using AI and automation to exploit vulnerabilities at every turn. Identity is no longer just a login—it's the frontline of defense. In this episode, we’re joined by a special guest, Shira Rubinoff, and Simon Horswell, a senior fraud specialist, as we explore findings from the 2026 Identity Fraud Report and how to rebuild trust in a world where identity is fluid, misinformation is weaponized, and traditional security frameworks are no longer enough. We unpack the tactics fraudsters used over the past year, how the threat landscape is shifting — and how businesses must respond to rebuild trust.
