About
Among rising deepfake attacks (one every five minutes globally) and digital document forgeries (up 244% YOY), fighting AI-driven fraud as a Fintech company in 2026 is not going to be easy.

When nothing can be taken at face value, including a new account, an ID document, a device, or a “normal-looking” login, teams need signals that go beyond what a fraudster can easily generate.

Open Source Intelligence, meaning the analysis of publicly available signals across the open web, is not new. What is new is how quickly it can be put to work, using automation and modern data processing to surface context, inconsistencies, and risk indicators in real time, all without adding friction for legitimate customers.

Join us for an insightful session where we will cover:

1. What is changing in fintech fraud in 2026
2. How OSINT uncovers hidden red flags that traditional checks often miss
3. How to keep detection frictionless across the entire customer journey
4. Practical steps to integrate OSINT into existing workflows
