Mobile Communications are used by billions of people around the world and a growing target for fraudsters globally. Mobile is emerging as the centre of digital transformation and with that increasingly at the centre of attacks: communications, payments, verification, ecommerce are now intertwined with mobile networks.
In response to growing concern and a unified desire to combat fraud, MEF’s “Future of Mobile Fraud Prevention” event focussed on new practices and solutions to help businesses protect themselves, consumers, and brands from fraud. The event brought together regulators, operators, carriers and brands for a lively discussion and expert insight on how the ecosystem can work together to eliminate fraud and bring trust to text messaging.

The Role of AI in Combatting or Enabling Fraud
