Artificial intelligence has industrialized deception at unprecedented scale. Voice and video deepfakes, hyper-personalized phishing and synthetic identities exploit the assumption that seeing and hearing constitute verification. Traditional identity controls fail when code can forge convincing audio, video and documentation, creating systemic vulnerabilities across authentication and access management.

While AI-powered defenses show promise, most remain experimental. Organizations must act now with available tools - strengthening multifactor authentication, deploying identity threat detection and hardening privileged access.

In this session, Amit Basu, vice president, CIO and CISO at International Seaways, will discuss:

• How AI transforms phishing, social engineering and financial fraud tactics;
• The collapse of traditional verification in deepfake-enabled environments;
• Practical strategies to preserve trust against evolving AI-enabled threats.
