Keynote Abstract: As financial fraud evolves alongside the internet economy, it presents increasingly complex challenges for organizations. This keynote will unveil the FT3 framework—an innovative approach designed to categorize and counteract financial fraud. FT3 employs a structured progression of fraud attacks, enabling security teams to enhance detection, streamline incident response, and improve communication across departments. By fostering a cooperative ecosystem through shared understanding and open-source collaboration, we aim to empower financial institutions to effectively thwart fraudulent activities. Join us as we discuss the significance of a unified language in combating fraud and invite the security community to contribute to the evolution of FT3, creating a safer financial ecosystem.
