Where the standard for payment trust gets set.
One day, with the finance leaders responsible for the country's largest payment flows — and the cyber, fraud and economic experts they rely on. On The Defense brings the people setting the bar for payment integrity into the same room. Not a conference. A working network.
For finance leaders who own the risk, and the response.
The CFO agenda this year is clear: cut costs, improve forecasting, invest for growth, reduce risk, and make AI work inside finance. Payment trust underpins all five, and every distraction caused by a lost or fraudulent payment puts those priorities at risk.
Once a payment goes wrong, finance teams are pulled into recovery instead of growth: forecasts shift, vendor trust erodes, and valuable time is lost cleaning up the damage. Leading finance teams are now verifying before payment, not investigating after — strengthening controls, investing in team education, and treating payment fraud as an organisational risk issue, not just an AP problem.
At the same time, AI is accelerating the threat landscape. Impersonation, account takeovers, and invoice fraud are now everyday risks — with downstream impact far beyond the transaction: operational distraction, reputational fallout, compliance pressure, and value destruction across the business.
Eftsure's On The Defense brings together CFOs, finance leaders, hackers, investigators, and law enforcement to unpack what's really happening, the impact on the business, and how organisations can stay ahead before fraud hits. Together, we're leading Australia toward a safer business community.

On the Briefing
Different disciplines. Different perspectives. One shared reality:
Every speaker understands what's happening at the payment layer — how modern fraud is evolving, where controls are failing, and what finance leaders need to see before attackers exploit the gap. And they're willing to talk about it openly.
