Why protecting your consumers from scams matters

Last year, 85% of consumers encountered digital scam attempts. With each attempt, consumer confidence in online services further diminishes, and if left unchecked, this erosion of trust can lead to higher churn rates. That’s why businesses must prioritize scam protection: to rebuild trust and ensure customers feel confident engaging with your brand.²

Leading the charge against online scams

To beat scammers, we must think like them. We need to identify where they’re most active, what they’re targeting, and how they’re infiltrating our digital lives. As scam rates escalate, our Scam Protection Engineering Team is at the forefront of researching and developing cutting-edge strategies to combat these threats. Their work helps us understand how scams operate, enabling us to continuously advance our technologies to stop them.
