Smarter, Faster, Together: Transforming Defenses in the Age of AI

SEPTEMBER 15-16, 2026 | CHARLOTTE, NC

Why attend the Financial Crime and Cybersecurity Forum?

Datos Insights brings you a premier gathering of financial and cyber crime fighters who are actively transforming how financial services institutions protect customers from escalating threats.

Don’t take our word for it! Our attendees say it best: “What I love about this conference is that it’s always filled with super smart, well-connected people. Not only do I get better at my job when I come, but I build my network.”

The New Threat Landscape

Financial crime has entered a new era. Criminals now wield generative AI and agentic automation with industrial-scale efficiency — fabricating identities, orchestrating payment scams, and exploiting real-time systems faster than many institutions can respond. The same AI transforming the threat landscape is also giving forward-thinking institutions powerful new capabilities to detect, disrupt, and prevent it.

The 2026 Financial Crime and Cybersecurity Forum brings together the industry’s leading fraud, AML, and cybersecurity executives to explore how smarter risk intelligence, AI-driven operations, and stronger collaboration are reshaping institutional defenses into orchestrated, resilient ecosystems built for the speed of modern threats.

Sessions will cover numerous topics, including:

AI and agentic automation in fraud and AML operations
Deepfake-enabled identity fraud and mule network disruption
Unified defenses across fraud, AML, and cyber functions
Cross-institutional intelligence sharing and consortium collaboration
First-party fraud and the erosion of institutional trust
API security risks and protecting agentic platforms
