Here are key insights from Guy during the discussion:

Evolve or Be Left Behind

Shining a spotlight on the constantly changing landscape of financial crime, it's crucial to adapt our strategies accordingly.

Stay Vigilant to Tech-Driven Threats

From state-backed entities to sophisticated criminal gangs, technology is their weapon. Vigilance is our shield.

Outcome Matters

Tools alone won't suffice; disruption is the goal. Embracing outcome-focused regulation is key to effective fraud control.

AI: the New Guardian

Optimize traditional rules with AI-driven detection. The focus is on optimizing alerts and detecting dynamic behavior patterns.

Democratize Data

Accessible, high-quality data fuels effective fraud detection. Democratization within organizations is the first line of defense.

Foster Collaboration

Building bridges between financial institutions and law enforcement is paramount. There should be robust public-private partnerships and sandbox environments for experimentation.Guy's insights provide a valuable guide for developing effective strategies to combat financial crime.
