The event brought together beam’s member community to tackle today’s most urgent financial challenges – from cybersecurity to payment processes.
One area of standout content was a session including insight from John Allcock, fraud awareness Analyst at NatWest.
Allcock exposed the alarming scale and sophistication of modern fraud tactics. His insights left attendees stunned but significantly better equipped to protect their businesses.
To continue the conversation, beam’s latest podcast episode features Allcock in conversation with Julie Shorrock, who leads beam’s Finance Advisory Board.
The episode unpacks key lessons from the forum and expands on the rapidly changing fraud landscape, how scammers are exploiting AI and new technologies, and what business leaders and employees can do to stay ahead.
Shorrock said, “Fraud involves so much more than suspicious emails or fake invoices. Today’s criminals are calculated, patient, and often one step ahead. Our goal at beam is to arm our members with the insight and tools they need to safeguard their operations, and this episode is a vital part of that mission.”
John Allcock added, “New regulation came in last year offering individual’s greater protection against fraud, but organisations don’t yet have the same level of protection. So, arming your employees, and therefore your business is crucial. And it starts with education, so I’m really supportive of what beam is doing for its members and industry in helping to raise awareness of the threats potential threats, risks, and protection.”
The podcast is now live and available via beam’s website.
