Alkami announces its upcoming webinar “Inside the Layers: Strategies for Smarter Security & Fraud Prevention,” featuring experts from Alkami, MANTL, and ORNL Federal Credit Union to discuss layered defenses in digital banking.
Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) (“Alkami”), a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced the upcoming webinar, Inside the Layers: Strategies for Smarter Security & Fraud Prevention, that will be a panel discussion designed to help financial institutions defend against evolving fraud threats through layered security. Featuring leaders from Alkami and ORNL Federal Credit Union, the discussion will explore layered defense tactics in modern digital banking environments and how financial institutions are closing gaps to stay ahead of attackers. Panelists will share real-world strategies and practical steps to strengthen protection across every channel. Featured speakers include:
  • Brad Cranford, director, product management, Alkami
  • Kevin Walsh, director of risk and analytics, MANTL, an Alkami solution team
  • Gilbert Young, vice president, information security officer, ORNL Federal Credit Union
“Modern fraud is multi-layered, and our defenses must be too,” said Gilbert Young. “From synthetic identities to phishing, attackers probe every weakness. A layered, adaptive strategy isn’t just protection, it’s a mindset.” “Fraudsters move fast and adapt quickly, often coordinating attacks across multiple channels to exploit weak points in digital defenses,” said Brad Cranford. “That’s why layered security is a requirement. Financial institutions need to identify threats at every stage, from onboarding to login to transaction monitoring. At Alkami, we’re helping institutions close those gaps by bringing together behavioral analytics, identity verification, and partner integrations to work in sync to defend against emerging fraud tactics.” The webinar will take place on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. EDT. Attendees will learn:
  • What layered security looks like in modern digital banking
  • The most common gaps in fraud prevention and how to close them
  • Practical ways to strengthen defenses against evolving attacks
“Whether it’s adjusting decision rules during an emerging fraud wave or layering multiple data sources to validate identity, our Alkami Platform gives financial institutions the tools to strike the right balance between speed, security, and compliance without sacrificing the user experience,” said Kevin Walsh.
