WATCH: Securing the Payments Ecosystem in the Era of Advanced Threats

In this podcast, Dan Baxter, Visa's Vice President & Head of Corporate Communications for CEMEA, speaks with Charles Lobo, Visa's Regional Risk Officer for CEMEA , to explore Visa’s efforts to protect over 4.5 billion cards and $15 trillion in annual transactions through cutting-edge cybersecurity measures.

Charles Lobo reinforces findings from Visa’s 2023 Stay Secure campaign and shares new insights from Visa's latest Biannual Threats Report, uncovering the stark gap between consumer confidence in spotting scams and their vulnerability to increasingly sophisticated threats, such as AI-driven deep fakes and large-scale social engineering. The conversation underscores Visa’s 30-year journey with AI, detailing its transition from predictive models to generative AI, which now analyzes billions of security events daily to detect fraud patterns.

The discussion also explores trends such as the growing importance of digital identity authentication and the adoption of tokenization to secure payment data.
