Your bank has likely invested in two-step verification, biometric access, and predictive fraud detection. Yet audit confirmations, which verify your clients' balances, liabilities, and credit facilities, still often travel by unencrypted email, mail, fax, and software.

Cybercriminals are leveraging sophisticated social engineering tactics, generative AI, and advanced Business Email Compromise (BEC) techniques. Relying on unencrypted email or low-security confirmation partners creates an unacceptable risk.
