How AI is Fueling a New Wave of Fraud in Community Banking

Virtual | 11:30 AM Central Time | December 2nd, 2025

When it comes to fraud, it’s important to remember that it’s as much about breaking into systems as it is about breaking established trust.

Unfortunately, the rise of generative AI has armed criminals with unprecedented tools to scale their attacks. They can now impersonate executives, customers, and vendors with convincing precision using deepfake phone calls, hyper-realistic phishing campaigns, and other malicious tactics. For community banks, where trusted relationships are the bedrock of business, AI-fueled fraud is a real threat.

Join this executive-level discussion hosted by Andy Minneker, CTO of Ironcore, Inc., featuring David Shipley, CEO and Co-Founder of Beauceron Security, a leader on the front lines of digital defense. David will share how threat actors are using AI to scale social engineering and fraud across the financial sector. He will equip you with the knowledge leaders need to know about these emerging risks, why technology alone cannot stop them, and how to protect both operations and customers through a stronger culture, enhanced oversight, and increased awareness.

Don't wait for the next attack.

This session is designed for decision makers and senior leaders at community and regional banks who influence or oversee risk, security, operations, or customer trust. It will be valuable for:

Executives: CEOs, Presidents, and COOs seeking to understand how AI-driven fraud impacts customer relationships and brand trust
Technology leaders: CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs responsible for modernizing systems and defending against AI-enabled social engineering
Risk and compliance professionals: VPs of Risk, Compliance, and Fraud Management focused on emerging fraud tactics and prevention strategies
Customer experience and communications leaders: Executives working to educate customers, strengthen awareness, and sustain trust in a digital environment
