Architecting Modern Payment Security

In this episode, Craig Jeffery and Christin Cifaldi of Strategic Treasurer discuss the technology component of modern payment security and the ideas covered in Strategic Treasurer's recent Payment Security Report. They explore how fraud threats are evolving through AI-enabled attacks, deepfakes, increasingly sophisticated criminal organizations, and efforts to bypass security controls. The conversation examines common gaps in payment security programs, including insufficient training, incomplete payment flow visibility, and weak verification processes. The discussion also covers faster payments, real-time settlement, layered security architectures, anomaly detection, multifactor authentication, passkeys, payee validation, banking security services, and the growing importance of treasury acting as the "superintendent of payments." They conclude with practical recommendations for strengthening payment security through staff training, process mapping, continuous monitoring, and collaboration across treasury, finance, IT, and cybersecurity teams.
