That’s out of the ~50% of total web traffic that bots represent (the other half being human users – including a seemingly large number working on behalf of Russia’s war in Ukraine). The millions of malicious bots active...

Using modern technology platforms to create an AI-driven bank

In the rapidly advancing banking sector, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become less of a choice and more of a crucial stepping stone. The industry is facing a turning point in the adoption of AI where organisations either embrace the opportunities in front of them or risk falling behind.  The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era of digital transformation. In banking operations, the integration of AI presents an opportunity for significant growth. However, this integration is not without its challenges. Banks are dealing with more data than ever before, and managing this information effectively is a crucial hurdle to overcome. From ensuring data accuracy and relevance to adhering to privacy regulations, these challenges require careful consideration.  The decision to incorporate AI should be a strategic one, aimed at addressing specific business challenges and not just a nod to the latest trend. Identifying growth-inhibiting challenges and evaluating the viability of AI as a solution is a practical and cost-effective approach.  This report highlights the key takeaways of a Finextra webinar, hosted in association with Red Hat, by a panel of industry experts. Discover:  Overcoming barriers in integrating AI into banking systems;  AI integration: A strategic approach; and  Effective utilisation of AI in business operations and risk mitigation.

Risk-based authentication: Enhancing security and user experience in fraud prevention

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the importance of robust cross-channel authentication cannot be overstated. As businesses and consumers increasingly interact across multiple platforms, ensuring secure and seamless authentication processes is paramount.  Online platforms have become integral to modern financial activities, which necessitates secure and seamless transactions, backed up by robust authentication mechanisms. Risk-based authentication offers a dynamic security approach, balancing user convenience with stringent fraud prevention.  The integration of cross-channel data and advanced technologies like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) is vital, as well as access and understanding of data. High-quality data is the cornerstone of effective fraud prevention and detection, which is why organisations must invest in robust data engineering practices to ensure collected data is accurate and well-labelled.  This investment enables the development of sophisticated models to better identify and prevent fraudulent activities. Prioritising data quality enhances fraud prevention strategies, protecting businesses and their customers from potential threats.  So how can organisations holistically address risk-based authentication in a dynamic world? This webinar report summarises the discussion of a Finextra webinar, hosted in association with Mastercard, and explores:  Risk-based authentication in fraud prevention;  Adapting fraud prevention to evolving threats;  Advanced authentication strategies for corporate fraud prevention;  Digital IDs, channels, and exclusion.

AI strategies for scalable, secure and compliant banking

Delving into effective strategies and tools for secure and compliant AI integration in banking, emphasising the importance of open-source models, the role of generative AI, the advantages of synthetic data, and the influence of regulatory frameworks. Integrating AI in banking involves more than just adopting new technologies; it requires aligning these technologies with specific banking use cases to maximise benefits and mitigate risks related to data security and compliance. Open-source models facilitate this transformation by offering a collaborative platform for innovation and transparency, essential for building trust and ensuring the safe use of AI in banking.  The journey from proof of concept (POC) to production in AI and machine learning is often lengthy and complex. This extended timeline highlights the challenges organisations face in integrating AI into their operations. Embracing new tools and technologies and learning to utilise them effectively is crucial for overcoming these challenges and applying AI to day-to-day operations, leading to significant benefits in efficiency and innovation.  When looking at other markets, the United States has become a hub for tech giants, focusing on fostering innovation, while regions like Japan remain cautious, reflecting their unique regulatory landscapes and societal risk appetites. This diversity in regulatory approaches presents both opportunities and challenges for firms operating globally, necessitating a nuanced understanding of each market’s unique dynamics.  This webinar report summarises the discussion of a Finextra webinar, hosted with Red Hat, by a panel of industry experts. Discover:  How AI is enhancing innovation, efficiency, and security;  Synthetic data and regulatory impact;  What factors are holding organisations back from fully adoption AI-driven services;  Balancing innovation and regulation;  And more.
