Matt Thompson, President and Chief Commercial Officer at Socure, is helping lead the fight—where machine identities already outnumber humans 80 to 1. And fraud isn’t just growing… it’s evolving faster than most businesses can keep up. Most leaders are still treating this like a tech problem. It’s not. It’s truly a strategy problem.

After spending over a decade in Army Special Operations under Stanley McChrystal, Matt is now applying those same battlefield-tested tactics to fight this new kind of enemy.
