The Security Impact of GenAI at Rabobank

November 14, 2024

As Rabobank defends against nearly 1.5 billion cyberattacks each year, Marcel Brons, Global Head of Security Operations & Continuity, faces the challenge of protecting the bank in an environment of increasing regulatory demands and advancing AI technologies.

We invite you to an exclusive Vision Dinner for (cyber)security leaders, where Marcel will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how Rabobank manages the complex risks posed by Generative AI (GenAI). Seen as a double-edged sword, GenAI introduces new threats—such as deepfakes and AI-powered fraud—but also offers significant opportunities. Marcel will share insights from Rabobank’s Threat Intelligence team, illustrating both the benefits and challenges they observe in their daily operations.
