What the Fraud?: How Organizations Can Defend Against Cyber Fraud in an AI-Powered World Paperback – April 28, 2025
by Sumit Bahl (Author)
Every day, fraudsters exploit gaps in technology, process, and trust—undermining business growth and operational integrity. They don’t just hack systems—they hack people. Armed with bots, deepfakes, stolen data, and AI-generated deception, they launch attacks that bypass traditional security and scale globally in minutes.
The damage? Not just financial. It’s operational chaos, lost trust, and brand credibility at stake. And yet, most organizations still treat fraud as a side issue—until it’s too late. Today, fraud is no longer a nuisance. It’s a systemic business risk that demands executive attention and cross-functional response.
In What the Fraud?, seasoned cybersecurity leader Sumit Bahl takes readers inside the rapidly evolving world of cyber fraud. From fake accounts to deepfakes, carding fraud to scraping attacks, he reveals how fraudsters now operate with startup-like agility—using automation, bots, and AI to scale deception at unprecedented levels.
Packed with real stories, enterprise case studies, and proven strategies, this book equips organizations to move from reactive defense to proactive resilience. It’s a practical guide for CISOs, fraud management leaders, product teams, and executives who want to fight modern fraud without sacrificing growth.
