Protecting People Beyond Their Workplaces

It may seem surprising to some that cybersecurity awareness companies are expanding their approach, not just training employees and simulating phishing attacks, but also helping financial institutions engage their customers in the growing fight against fraud.

The audiences may be different, but the stakes are the same. At work, the focus is on protecting employees. Outside the office, it’s about safeguarding individuals, 365 days a year, from an ever-evolving world of cyber-enabled fraud.

Criminals don’t draw a line between the workplace and the bank. To them, every person is a potential target, and we can’t afford to think any differently.

As we talked about last week with the launch of our latest product, Consumer Fraud Prevention, cyber-enabled fraud now accounts for the majority of cybercrime losses worldwide. In 2024, the FBI reported that $13.8 billion (83% of all cybercrime losses) came from cyber-enabled fraud. 

This cyber-enabled fraud targets people, both personal banking and business customers.

Two Fraud Fighting Solutions, Two Audiences 

Beauceron has launched two tailored solutions for financial institutions to deliver to their customers: 

• Consumer Fraud Prevention Solution – embedded in mobile and desktop banking applications, giving everyday consumers interactive education and real-time feedback. 

• Business Fraud Prevention Solution – designed for micro and small businesses, equipping them with practical guidance to reduce risk. 

The solutions introduce a measurable way to track knowledge, behaviors, and risks, similar to how fitness apps transformed personal health. Moving beyond the passive, one-way communications traditionally used, this approach delivers active engagement and lasting motivation.  

Just as smartwatches revolutionized fitness, awareness scores are set to redefine how individuals and businesses build fraud and cybersecurity resilience. 

We’ve proven this approach works to protect employees. People using this kind of experience reduce their susceptibility to the most common form of cybercrime, phishing, eight times faster than traditional awareness.  

Beyond Reactive Anti-Fraud Technology 

Most anti-fraud technologies detect fraud only during or after an incident. Beauceron’s solution complements these tools by reducing risk before fraud occurs. It is proactive prevention that – for a lower cost – helps those technology solutions deal with the onslaught of now AI-powered fraud. 

Our solutions help financial institutions: 

• Make risk personal – showing each customer their vulnerabilities and how they must play a role in protect themselves, and that technology alone can’t keep them safe. 

• Provide actionable coaching – guiding customers with clear steps to improve. 

• Measure impact – identifying which educational content drives real behavior change. 

• Track leading indicators – monitoring knowledge and attitudes as early signals of fraud risk. 

Your customers aren’t the problem when it comes to fraud, they’re the solution. With the right tools, they can help stop more fraud before it happens. 

Proven Model, New Frontier 

Beauceron Security has spent nearly a decade proving that people can meaningfully reduce cyber risk. Now, we’re helping banks and credit unions extend that success to their customers. 

With Beauceron’s Fraud Prevention Solution, prevention is measurable, scalable, and human-centered. It turns customers into defenders and builds stronger, more resilient financial communities.
