Trust Under Attack: A View on Africa's Financial Sector

Trust has to be established between you and your bank. Attackers have worked out that stealing an identity is cheaper than breaking a control and that deepfakes can be used to approve payments. This session puts a name to what is happening across the continent right now and shows practitioners what the attack surface looks like today.

What the session covers:

• Identity compromise and privileged-access abuse.
• Deepfakes, voice cloning and AI-assisted social engineering.
• Controls that hold up: authentication, authorisation, transaction verification, insider risk.
• What detection mechanisms can work.

Who's in the room:

• CISOs and security leads, fraud and financial-crime teams, identity and IAM owners, SOC managers, regulators.
