Join Global Leaders at SEC CON 2025 Against Digital Fraud

Digital fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated, the GSMA SEC CON 2025 emerges as a pivotal event dedicated to addressing these pressing challenges. Scheduled for March 5, 2025, at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, this conference aims to unite global security and fraud prevention leaders to collaboratively develop strategies that safeguard consumers and digital ecosystems.

The digital landscape has witnessed a surge in scam operations that not only deceive consumers but also undermine trust in online platforms. These fraudulent activities have evolved beyond simple phishing attempts, now encompassing complex schemes orchestrated by organized crime networks. The dual impact is profound: individuals fall victim to scams, and others are coerced into participating in these illicit activities.
