The UAE is currently facing a double-fronted technological threat. Following the recent alert from the Dubai Police regarding AI-generated document forgery, the UAE Cybersecurity Council has issued an urgent warning via its "Cyber Pulse" campaign. The message is clear: Artificial Intelligence has blurred the line between genuine and fake content, making modern fraud almost indistinguishable from legitimate business.

According to the UAE Cybersecurity Council, AI-powered phishing is now linked to more than 90% of digital security breaches. By removing traditional warning signs like poor grammar or inconsistent branding, criminals are carrying out in seconds what once took months of planning.

In this high-stakes environment, Conflict Advisory Group provides the forensic intelligence and cross-border expertise required to protect investors, corporations, and family offices from an increasingly invisible enemy.

1. A Multi-Dimensional Threat: Beyond Paper Forgery

The combined warnings from Dubai and national cyber authorities reveal a sophisticated ecosystem of AI-driven fraud that targets the very core of business trust:

Convincing Social Engineering: Criminals use AI to create highly polished messages designed to trigger urgency. These messages often bypass traditional security filters because they appear flawlessly professional.
Deepfake Audio and Visuals: Beyond documents, authorities warn of "realistic voice imitations" used to manipulate executives into authorizing fraudulent transfers.
Official Misrepresentation: Scammers are now able to alter official logos and letterheads with such precision that they can convincingly claim to be from government departments or security authorities.

2. The Conflict Advisory Group Defence

As AI-powered deception grows more sophisticated, the only defence is to move beyond digital appearances and verify the underlying reality. Conflict Advisory Group utilises specialised investigative pillars to safeguard our clients:

Enhanced Due Diligence: When a document looks perfect to the naked eye, our process goes deeper. We don't just "check" a document; we verify the entity behind it. By cross-referencing digital submissions with primary source data and human intelligence (HUMINT), we ensure the parties you are dealing with are legitimate. This is the essential proactive step for any high-value transaction in the UAE.
Professional Asset Tracing: If a deception has already occurred, the focus must immediately shift to recovery. Our specialists leverage forensic accounting and global investigative networks to track the flow of stolen capital. Whether the funds have been moved through traditional banking systems or converted into digital assets, we provide the actionable intelligence required to support legal freezing orders and the eventual recovery of your assets.

3. Strategic Risk Management in the UAE

The UAE’s rapid digital transformation provides a wide surface area for AI-enabled crime. Conflict Advisory Group provides essential peace of mind for:
