Howard Smith and Liam Moran share key takeaways from the 2024 RSA Conference and industry discussions. The strong attendance, with over 41,000 participants, highlights the sector's ongoing vitality.

While M&A and financing remain strong, it's crucial to align strategies with probable exit valuations. This year #ArtificialIntelligence was an even hotter topic, with most companies adding AI to existing solutions and a growing number developing native #AI solutions.

The pandemic has accelerated #e-commerce growth, making it an attractive target for a shadow industry that uses #scalper #bots to siphon sales from legitimate sites, resulting in consumer frustration, lost sales and reputational damage. Despite calls for regulatory action, we think technological solutions from innovative companies offer a more immediate defense. David Gearhart and Marta Mikos' latest report profiles several of these solutions in four major categories.

Recent surveys indicate a significant rise in fraudulent activities in apartment #leasing, driven by consumer financial stress from the long-term housing shortage and consequent housing inflation in the United States. According to the National Multifamily Housing Council, over 70% of #multifamily property owners reported increased fraudulent applications and payments, and traditional credit scores, which fail to capture current financial stress and do not verify income, have proven inadequate.

In their latest report, Terry Kiwala, CFA and Walid Elmekki discuss the growth of alternative #credit qualification platforms that use extensive #consumerdata sources to provide a more accurate assessment of tenants' ability to pay and profile 12 companies leading this innovative approach.

Society is eager to find ways to stop malicious #deepfakes, and identifying deepfakes is a challenging and key part of the solution. Deepfake detection technology essentially reverse engineers the deepfake creation process to identify deepfakes. Important markets include news media, law enforcement, banking and general commerce. Howard Smith and Liam Moran give an overview of the latest #deepfake creation models, discuss the various use cases for detection software, and highlight interesting providers.
