Beyond Fear: Inspiring Action Through Experience

Cyber-enabled fraud is the single largest driver of cybercrime losses worldwide, and financial institutions are shouldering the burden. The greatest obstacle isn’t technological, it’s human.

Fraud prevention isn’t just about telling people what not to do, it’s about helping them care enough to change their behavior. It requires instilling the belief that people have an active role to play in staying safe online – at work, but also at home. Traditional awareness campaigns often rely on fear, but fear alone creates only short-term results. When people are given a chance to see progress, to learn from mistakes, and to measure improvement, they’re far more motivated to act.

Overcoming Risky Decisions 

Many customers assume security is someone else’s responsibility until they fall for a scam. Our research shows just how dangerous this mindset can be. 

• Individuals who don’t think they’re a target are 37% more likely to click on a phishing link. 

• Those who don’t believe they play an important role are 45% more likely to fall victim. 

This unconscious bias creates blind spots that criminals exploit every day. The key to overcoming it is to make risk personal and progress visible. By giving customers an awareness score, we ground that awareness in a metric they can understand and track. Each score reflects real behaviors and attitudes, turning abstract risks into measurable outcomes. 

When people see where they stand and how they can improve, they begin to view themselves as part of the solution. Delivered in a positive, empowering way, this approach reinforces knowledge, strengthens trust, and motivates customers to care about protecting themselves, their communities, and their financial institutions. 

At its core, effective security awareness isn’t about technology, it’s about communication and marketing. When we apply these principles, we don’t just raise awareness, we change behavior.  

Driving the Next Evolution of Fraud Prevention 

Beauceron’s employee-focused platform has helped more than one million people understand and manage their cyber risk. We’ve proven that people can meaningfully reduce susceptibility to cyber threats when they are engaged in the right way. 

Fraud prevention is rooted in our DNA, and we’re leaning into everything we’ve learned to build the next evolution of defenders: people empowered to take responsibility, recognize their vulnerabilities, and strengthen their defenses.  

Beauceron’s solutions are designed as experiences, not just education. People learn best when the results are visible and the feedback is clear. If you fail at something, it doesn’t feel good, but that experience drives you to do better. Empowerment works the same way: by making security tangible and personal, we give individuals the motivation to reduce their own risk and thrive in a digital world. 

We’re extending that success to financial institution customers. Backed by our investors, including BankTech Ventures, we are scaling our solutions to protect more institutions, their communities, and the financial ecosystem as a whole.
