Defending Against Deepfakes: 7 Safeguards for Your Finance Team

Financial fraud has entered a new era that presents all kinds of new threats. Today’s schemes use AI-driven tactics like deepfake voice and video impersonation that are nearly impossible to detect — and they’re no longer occasional edge cases.

For CFOs and finance teams, AI-generated scams go far beyond phishing emails and obviously fake texts from supposed executives. They can slip directly into existing approval workflows, impersonating executives or vendors and moving money before anyone realizes it. The challenge now isn’t just spotting fraud — it’s building finance processes where even convincing fakes can’t succeed.

In this special security briefing, you’ll hear from Reality Defender CTO Alex Lisle, a leader in AI detection, and Ramp to learn:

- The emerging AI-powered fraud attack vectors to watch in 2026
- The 7 safeguards you can add today to stop deepfakes before money moves
- Why Reality Defender chose Ramp to strengthen its financial operations
