Coinflow CISO on crypto payments security under AI pressure

This interview with Coinflow CISO Malcolm Portelli summarizes security priorities for crypto payment firms: APTs frequently target the sector for financial gain, fraud is shifting toward convincing customers and staff to authorize payments, and defenses emphasize API-focused MFA and AI-based anomaly detection. Portelli also discusses security awareness training cadence, communicating cyber risk to boards with financial metrics, frustration with low-value guidance and AI-generated content, and concerns that AI tools accelerate vulnerability discovery while remediation and automated patching lag.
