Across the financial services industry, the conversation is shifting for CISOs. Once distinct and often competing in priorities, fraud and cyber teams are now being pushed closer together by the realities of modern attacks. Some believe full convergence is inevitable, that security will only work when fraud analytics, behavioral intelligence, and cyber controls live under one roof. Others argue that fusion isn’t a structure, it’s a mindset, a coordinated intelligence loop where each team retains its craft but shares a single picture of risk. Either way, the direction of travel is clear: criminals aren’t respecting our boundaries, so our security teams can’t afford that luxury either.    We’ll unpack this evolving trend with two leading cybersecurity experts alongside voices from fraud, fintech, and financial crime at the upcoming webinar: Fraud Exposed: The Cyber-Fraud Fusion.

The challenges facing fraud and cybersecurity professionals are perhaps more aligned than they’ve ever been. AI-powered scams, deepfakes, and real-time social engineering have created a new era of risk, one where financial institutions can’t afford to treat cybersecurity and fraud prevention as separate disciplines. At Team8, we’ve seen how this fusion is reshaping the financial landscape. From threat detection to incident response, the silos are breaking down, and the future belongs to leaders who bridge both worlds. Join us on October 30 at 2 PM EST for Fraud Exposed: The Cyber-Fraud Fusion, presented with Mastercard, where we’ll unpack what this convergence means for banks, fintechs, and the builders of the next generation of financial defenses. Featuring: - Rigo Van den Broeck, EVP Cybersecurity, Mastercard - Galia Beer-Gabel, Partner, Team8 - Roy Zur, Co-founder & CEO, Charm Security - Neil Robinson, Head of Security Engineering & Cybersecurity, Virgin Money 👉 Register now https://lnkd.in/dtdwqVaF

The most important process in #banking happens while the world sleeps. Each night, banks run thousands of programs, posting transactions, calculating interest, reconciling accounts, so the system wakes up ready for a new day. This “nightly batch” has powered banking for decades. But the world around it has changed. Overnight windows are shrinking. Failures derail schedules. Costs rise. Compliance risk grows. Legacy systems, many built 25+ years ago, are harder and harder to maintain. The result: a black box that “just works”… until it doesn’t. And when it fails, it’s loud, delaying payments, breaking compliance, and eroding trust. Is it time to reimagine this hidden core? With clarity, stability, and control, banks can transform overnight processing from a fragile liability into a strategic advantage. At Team8, we’re exploring this area as part of a broader vision, helping banks modernize their core, meet today’s expectations, and seize tomorrow’s opportunities. 🔥 I’d love to hear from those in the trenches: Is the nightly batch a pain point in your org? How are you approaching modernization here? Your insights will help shape where this innovation goes next. Read more about this in the first comment. #bankinnovation #modernization
