Beyond the Firewall: Why Fraud is Cybersecurity’s Blind Spot

Phishing attacks are getting smarter—and more personal. Scammers are impersonating you and your brand to steal credentials, drain accounts, and exploit customer relationships. But here’s the problem: fraud is still treated as someone else’s job. In this fireside chat, two seasoned security leaders unpack the convergence of cybersecurity and fraud—how these threats evolve, where defenses fall short, and how modern teams are closing the gap. Anthony Lauderdale, now a fractional CISO, brings a rare blend of public and private sector experience. He began his career in threat intel with the FBI and has since served as a security leader at Motorola, United Airlines, Zoom, BetterUp, Dun & Bradstreet, and others. He's seen firsthand how these threats unfold across industries and at scale. Rod Schultz, CEO of Bolster, is a 20+ year cybersecurity veteran who has led product and strategy teams at companies like Cisco, HP, Cylance, and Dust Security. At Bolster, he’s redefining how organizations detect and take down phishing and impersonation scams before they cause damage.
