Podcast: Deepfakes and Synthetic Identities in Banking

Blog Post: Cybersecurity Awareness Month

This Month

It can’t be a coincidence that global Cybersecurity Awareness Month ends on the night when strangers in disguise show up at your door requesting treats – a live phishing test if we ever saw one. Think before you get tricked!

In this issue, Entrust CEO Todd Wilkinson marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month with thoughts on how adding trust and security in this digital-first world unlocks the many benefits of the digital transformation to business, government, and our everyday lives.

And on the podcast, we delve into the increasingly sophisticated use of deepfakes and synthetic identities by criminals to create bank accounts and scam customers – and how innovation in identity verification, biometrics, and AI is helping banks and enterprises fight back.

Good content here this month and hope you'll check it out. Really enjoyed talking with Jordan Avnaim and Greg Wetmore on the podcast. AI is taking fraud to a whole new level ... but banks and other enterprises have the opportunity to build in processes with deeper trust as well.
