Deepfakes and AI-Driven Identity Attacks in Banking

Roundtable Overview

Deepfakes have become an operational threat to banks across Southeast Asia, with synthetic media increasingly targeting digital authentication and financial controls. MAS has warned banks to strengthen defences against AI-driven impersonation. This roundtable examines where identity systems are most exposed, which detection approaches are proving effective, and how banks are rebuilding security controls for an era of AI-generated deception.
