## Resource

In this episode, Craig Jeffery speaks with Niek Dekker of Eftsure about the global rise of cybercrime and what is driving modern scams. They discuss how macroeconomic instability, geopolitical unrest, and new technologies like AI are accelerating fraud activity while lowering the barrier to entry for cybercriminals. The conversation explores where scams originate, how criminal networks are evolving, and why treasury and finance teams are increasingly targeted. They also break down practical prevention strategies, including the importance of executive ownership, layered defenses, and aligning cybersecurity with financial controls. The discussion emphasizes that organizations must move beyond passive awareness to actively testing and strengthening their defenses against increasingly sophisticated threats.
