Panel: Navigating trust, risk, and fraud in the age of technology

Technology is transforming insurance—and the nature of fraud along with it. As schemes become more digital, scalable, and interconnected, trust is increasingly at risk across the value chain. This panel brings together speakers from across functions to examine how technology-driven fraud is showing up, why silos are holding insurers back, and how greater transparency and collaboration can strengthen trust.

  • How fraud is emerging across underwriting, claims, and customer interactions—and why no role is insulated

  • Where siloed teams and legacy approaches are limiting visibility and response

  • How data, technology, and cross-functional collaboration can improve fraud prevention without eroding customer trust
