The Digital Trust Frontier | Interview with Vijay Mauree, ITU Standardization Bureau

Digital trust is the foundation of modern financial systems — but as ecosystems become more global, interconnected, and AI-driven, maintaining that trust is getting harder. In this episode of Sumsub For Experts, Kat Cloud (Head of Government Relations at Sumsub) speaks with Vijay Mauree (Head of the Strategic Technologies and Academia Division at the ITU Standardization Bureau) about how we secure digital financial services at scale. We explore the biggest risks in today’s digital finance landscape — from deepfake-driven fraud and synthetic identities to fragmented digital wallet ecosystems and the challenge of global interoperability. The conversation also dives into Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), “safety by design,” and what it takes to build systems that remain secure in the face of rapid technological change. As fraud becomes more sophisticated and borderless, the key question is no longer just “Is this user real?” — but “Can we trust the systems verifying them?” Webinar mentioned in the episode: https://aiforgood.itu.int/event/rebui...
