The New Playbook for Fraud & Cyber Defense

Fraud is no longer just a downstream cleanup issue. It’s a direct result of cyber incidents that outpace our organizational structures. Siloed teams still overlook weak signals, coordinated attacks manage to get through, and losses grow across different channels. That’s why banking leaders need a new strategy: one that treats fraud and cybersecurity as a unified defense, sharing intelligence, standard procedures, and real-time decision-making.

In this episode of Banking Transformed, we’ll explain how cyber-enabled fraud actually occurs, why traditional structures don’t work, and what it takes to stay ahead. We’ll also explore the GenAI factor, looking at how attackers are scaling deception and how banks can respond with smarter profiling and faster, smoother decision-making.

Joining me is Laura Quevedo, Executive Vice President, Fraud & Decisioning Solutions at Mastercard, a leader at the center of payment resiliency, financial crime prevention, and risk decisioning. She will share how integrated teams and shared intelligence are changing outcomes for institutions worldwide.

For banking leaders tasked with protecting their institutions and customers in this new era of converged threats, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for building truly resilient defenses. Because the question is no longer whether your fraud and cyber teams should work together, but how quickly you can make it happen.
