“New Threats, Old Crimes: How Modern Tech is Updating Fraud Schemes”

Leigha Simonton, Tiffany Eggers, and Sarah Douglas will all serve as featured presenters for the Ethicsverse Live Masterclass, “New Threats, Old Crimes: How Modern Tech is Updating Fraud Schemes.” 

Drawing on their extensive experience in economic crimes, public corruption, and cyber enforcement, Simonton, Eggers, and Douglas will translate their frontline prosecution experience into practical prevention strategies. Attendees will learn how emerging technologies are exploiting the same control weaknesses that have always existed, why inadequate cybersecurity protocols now constitute a compliance failure that attracts DOJ scrutiny, and what specific gaps in corporate programs former prosecutors recognize immediately as vulnerability markers. 

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding the specific control failures and organizational behaviors that convert fraud incidents into enforcement targets
• Why inadequate cyber controls are now viewed as compliance failures that warrant federal scrutiny
• Practical frameworks for implementing controls that address both traditional fraud risks and emerging technological threats
