Until recently, a percentage of organizations discounted the risk related to external fraud attempts. Most were only concerned with protecting physical assets such as inventory or fixed assets. However, because of the many highly publicized corporate hacking events, such as the ones that affected the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Meats, more attention is being paid to external fraud risk of all types. In this session, we look at what is included in a definition of external fraud and then delve into specific control issues that can give rise to increased risk. We then discuss measures that organizations can employ to help reduce exposure to external attacks.

AI is already being used in so many ways to aid business organizations in a wide array of ways. However, artificial intelligence is also being used by those seeking to steal or commit fraud to circumvent controls and mislead both people and systems working to keep fraud at bay. The use of AI for ill-intent is pervasive and difficult to detect which makes fighting defalcation attempts an even greater struggle. In this session we will look at some of the methods that are AI-centric which are being used to deceive and defraud. We will then dive deeper and explore ways to identify instances when AI is being used. Finally, we will look at control measures that can aid those working to fight AI driven fraud.
