APAC CISOs face an escalating battle as AI agents rapidly outpace traditional defences. Key issues include distinguishing legitimate actions from malicious automation, soaring fraud speeds, and customer attrition from either excessive friction or unreimbursed losses. 

The Biocatch report, the future of Digital Trust, concluded that with 86% viewing AI agents as the industry’s greatest vulnerability, leaders urgently need real-time behavioural insights and interbank collaboration to preserve trust.

To know more about this and to help CISOs at the region’s banks find solutions to this rising AI-driven fraud incidents, we are joined by Subhashish Bose, Director of Global Advisory, BioCatch.
