What can happen when the right people get in the same room to solve the same problem? We're going Behind the Network to hear directly from the organizations and experts working every day to prevent scams, protect consumers, and strengthen the global response. In this edition, Renata Salvini, Director of GASA’s Brazil Chapter, speaks with Oren Arar from Malwarebytes about why stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors is becoming increasingly important as scams evolve and AI creates new threats for consumers. Oren shares why bringing people together in person can lead to new ideas and solutions, particularly when organizations with different perspectives have the opportunity to work through specific challenges together. He also discusses the importance of intelligence sharing and the need to get information about active scams to law enforcement, technology companies, and other organizations quickly enough for them to act. From prevention to real-time detection and response, the conversation explores how cybersecurity approaches can help strengthen consumer protection and why speed becomes critical when scams can affect thousands of people across multiple countries at once. ▶️ Watch the full Behind the Network conversation on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/g3sWS94W That spirit of collaboration continues at the Global Anti-Scam Summit Asia in Bangkok, bringing together leaders from across sectors and markets to exchange perspectives, build connections, and work toward practical solutions to scams. 👉 Join us in Bangkok on November 10–11: https://lnkd.in/grBuRWYN #BehindTheNetwork #GASA #Malwarebytes #GlobalAntiScamSummit #CyberSecurity #ScamPrevention #InformationSharing
