In this exclusive session presented by reformed fraudster Alex Wood and Skillcast CRO Catriona Razic the discussion centres on:

  • How criminals identify cultural and behavioural weak spots and the signals that make an organisation an easy target

  • The social engineering methods fraudsters use and which roles are most vulnerable

  • Where internal processes and behaviours fail, and how those failures are exploited from the inside

  • How money mule networks and illicit financial flows operate within the evolving EU AML landscape 

This session is presented at the SCCE ECEI event on the 2nd of March 2026.
