Identity is the new money — but today’s systems are broken.
In 2024 alone, fraud losses soared to $12.5B — a 25% year-on-year jump.
From deepfakes to synthetic identities, fraudsters are exploiting gaps across banking, crypto, and even government-issued IDs.
Are regulators underestimating the threat? Can decentralization and strong identity ever be reconciled? And who should ultimately fix broken systems — governments, banks, or platforms?
This 60-minute live discussion brings together global experts in fraud risk, compliance, and identity to explore what’s failing, what’s next, and how to build trust into digital identity for the future.
