The Psychological Firewall: Protecting Ourselves in the Digital Age

In a digital era fraught with increasing scams and cyber threats, it has become imperative for both organisations and individuals to fortify their defences against this modern scourge. While technological advancements play a pivotal role in this endeavour, the need for a 'psychological firewall' is just as critical as the digital one. As technology evolves, scammers adeptly adjust their tactics to exploit the psychological vulnerabilities inherent in all of us.

It is perfect timing as this week is also International Fraud Awareness Week, and also coinciding with Cyber Security Awareness last week. There is no better time to arm yourself with tools for navigating the online world.

Informed by extensive research, expert interviews, and interactions with both scammers and their victims during the filming of "You've been scammed" for TVNZ1, Nigel Latta will enlighten the audience on the intricate psychology of scams. He will shed light on the specific traits that scammers exploit and share simple, effective strategies for safeguarding oneself against their malicious designs.

Speaking with Nigel Latta, he says for those who have watched his series, it will still be valuable to attend tonight’s show as there will be plenty of information he will deliver that never made it on to the screens.
