online scam fraud cybercrime
The Challenge

Our growing dependence on technology in both our personal and professional lives exposes us to a wide range of cyber threats. This increased vulnerability calls for a proactive approach to protect ourselves against these risks. In this white paper, we delve into the realm of behavioral science and its significant role in establishing a robust defense against scammers, particularly in light of recent advancements in artificial intelligence that enable sophisticated impersonation techniques, such as spoofing numbers and voices.

The Work

In this white paper, created in collaboration with BVA Nudge Consulting in APAC, I explore how behavioral science can be leveraged as a defense against cyber threats. The paper includes a scientific review that highlights current cybersecurity warning messages and explores strategies to improve their impact. It also emphasizes the importance of cultivating a cybersecure culture within organizations, which is vital for building collective immunity and enhancing organizational resilience.

Through this research, we aim to empower individuals and businesses with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance their cybersecurity measures. We provide practical recommendations that help "outsmart scammers," not only in our everyday lives but also within organizational settings. The full paper is available here.
