  • Article (Consumer finance) - Feyz International

    CONSUMER FINANCE IN THE DIGITAL AGE: LEVERAGING BIG DATA AND TECHNOLOGY TO PERSONALIZE PROTECTION Have you ever wondered why consumers tend to make suboptimal financial decisions, and why financial firms are often in a position to exploit them? Clearly, this is due in part to consumers’ biases and limited rationality. As consequence, even well-meaning policy interventions have often regulated for rational consumers and made them worse rather than better off. However, recent developments in behavioral science and economics seem to have made their way to traditional regulatory interventions. And while the combination of behavioral insights and big data analysis is raising issues relating to privacy and equality before the law, it is also opening up the possibility of tailoring the regulation of financial market behavior to more empirically valid characteristics. ​ Consuming Financial Products ​ Retail clients, you, me, we all engage with the financial system in various ways. We open accounts, we get personal loans, we may even be tempted to invest in bonds or shares. Some of the opportunities in the financial market are believed to dramatically improve our well-being. Pension-related products are one striking example: they help up save effortlessly for times when we will not have an income anymore. However, financial markets are complex and also expose consumers to greater risks than other marketplaces. Some risks are product specific and derive from the speculative nature of the instrument. Other risks are more general and related to consumers’ pattern of behavior. Even products such as insurance products that are not indexed to the ups and downs of the financial market do expose financial consumers to ill-suited or expensive choices. Decision-making and the Human Brain ​ It is now widely recognized that individual cognitive processing has limited capacity. The human brain deploys mechanisms to economize on cognitive processing in decision-making: this saves time but results in systematic errors in decision-making, which might not happen if the person was given unlimited time and the analytic resources to make these choices. Therefore, consumers make predictably costly mistakes in financial markets: they buy high and sell low, invest in attractively presented instruments they do not understand, and pay excessive fees. ​ The Myth of Rules of Thumb and the Rational Consumer ​ If we want to protect and empower the financial citizens that we are, close attention should be paid to consumers’ behaviors, to their imperfect analyses and distorted judgments. Let us not forget that many existing rules are written with a fictional (rational) consumer in mind: someone who reads labels and disclosures, takes the time to scrutinize contracts, and checks the terms and conditions. In reality, we are nothing like the fictional consumer. Instead, we use shortcuts to make decisions, relying on intuition rather than deliberation. Thus, many potential errors, anomalies or biases in consumer decision-making may be explained by the use of rules of thumb leading to incorrect beliefs. We are unlikely to make an active choice when one option is a default (‘inertia’). An example of this is automatically renewable contracts, such as are often found in banking services. It has also been established that we can only deal effectively with a limited amount of information (‘information overload’). For this reason, it is not sensible to throw into the terms and conditions of loan agreements more information than consumers can process. Another example is present bias. This causes us to discount costs that seem distant in the future (‘hyperbolic discounting’). For example, a credit card with a low introductory teaser interest rate and high long-term interest rate is regarded as attractive, irrespective of the total cost. A last example, ‘optimism bias’ can lead us to misjudge the amount of use we make of a service: thus we might believe that we will never be in a situation where we need an expensive overdraft. Errors of this kind can result in choosing a contract that does not suit our needs. ​ Leveraging Big Data and Technology to Personalize Protection ​ Businesses have long been aware of this set of behaviors and regulations have started to take into account and incorporate insight from behavioral studies. What would be useful is to bridge the gap with Big Data, which is just another key to understanding consumer behavior. The power of Big Data and associated predictive analytics could be used to improve the efficiency of consumer law. While heterogeneity among consumers often means that regulations are over- and under-inclusive, the rise of Big Data has significantly decreased the costs associated with creating and administering personalized legal rules tailored to specific individual profiles or circumstances. This is just one example out of many more. In short, the combination of behavioral economics and Big Data analysis opens up the possibility of tailoring the regulation of market behavior to more empirically valid characteristics, and to personalize it. This exciting prospect also opens up major questions, relating in particular to how privacy can be ensured and how justice can be achieved. Nevertheless, private law can potentially embrace and harness these insights, and use them to solve problems such as unfair terms or debt payment issues. ​ by Geneviève Helleringer , 21.09.21 ​ Source : Knowledge Lab Essec

  • Latest news (SASE) - Feyz International

    How secure access services edge security will transform networks During a media event at Netskope’s SASE Week , Steve Riley, the discussion moderator and field chief technology officer for Netskope , asked, “What’s the driving force for SASE? Why now? What’s changed?” The short take is that we are in the midst of a digital transformation, with a stronger reliance on mobile and cloud computing than ever before, according to various attendees, and we need to implement secure access services edge (SASE) now to properly address data security and networking issues that are quickly approaching. ​ Jason Clark, chief strategy officer at Netskope, said that business has been moving to a cloud-based framework and that cloud adoption has been accelerated by the pandemic. “Data is now sitting on a CPU that you don’t own or control because it’s on the cloud, and it’s being transmitted on a network — or the internet — that you don’t own, and the users are off the network. The security teams are being stretched by this,” he said. Clark stresses that moving to SASE means “a repositioning of security to consolidate to one new security inspection point. It’s a smart reset.” ​ When Ed Amoroso, founder, and CEO of cybersecurity consultancy TAG Cyber , was asked why he was advocating for a move to SASE, he used an easy-to-visualize model. “Hub and spoke networks consolidated and brought everything to the datacenter. Now data is scattered among apps, cloud, and different work clouds so the hub and spoke doesn’t make any sense anymore,” he said. “By conceptualizing what you need in your mind, you start putting together SASE. We’re at a time when people need different networks that can be controlled from the cloud. Anyone listening can self-generate that SASE is required just by thinking about how we use networks today.” ​ Meeting network engineers’ needs ​ After, Riley poised two thought-provoking questions — “If everything is on the cloud, is there a network to manage?” and “If there is no datacenter, are there now many centers of data?” — George Gerchow, chief security officer at Sumo Logic , led a discussion on the importance of focusing on data security and encryption. Gerchow stressed repeatedly the need for collaboration with control, saying, “You have to have availability, but that availability has to have seamless security. Availability matters because people have to use their services, but if you don’t have security to go with it, good luck, because it can be over in an instant.” ​ Clark suggested that there are two avenues in building a SASE framework: “If it’s security-led, then it’s about the data. Sometimes it’s network-led, and for networking, [then] it’s about access.” ​ Supporting the idea of a network-led framework, Amoroso said, “Many things that have nothing to do with security are an important part of the architecture.” He pointed out that he has a stack of laptops that he still uses for each company with whom he consults because that’s the only way to access his corporate clients’ perimeter. The reality is that network engineers are probably busier than they’ve ever been, and SASE can bring about needed improvements to network access. ​ Zero trust is adaptive trust ​ Introducing the topic of zero trust elicited some laughter from panelists. They all proceeded to comment on the buzzword aspect of the phrase, despite much misunderstanding about what it really is. Clark summarized by saying, “It’s a framework that needs to be embedded in how we operate. It’s not binary. Trust is not on or off. Zero trust has a zero to five scale in my mind.” ​ Riley added, “Zero is the starting point, but ultimately you’ll have to extend some level of trust in order for some level of interactivity to occur.” He followed that up by suggesting that the term “adaptive trust” would be more accurate, which was met with panel agreement. ​ ​ Clark described a zero-trust relationship as allowing its users to “give the least amount of access as possible, as much as possible, so that bad things can’t happen.” Gerchow added that zero trust is a fabric of many things, and that it entails working closely with vendors and partners to stop anything that isn’t supposed to happen. ​ The great SASE migration ​ Overall, the panel seemed to largely focus on a key question, “How do we convince the C-Suite?” Panelists agreed that SASE is the future of data security and secure access, but disagreed on how long it will take for a cloud adoption tipping point moment. ​ Clark brought up the importance of the shared responsibility model, where you can control what user has access to, as well as what data is included. He said that a company should have its own standard for considering third-party risk before granting any outside agency access to its cloud-based framework. ​ It was Amoroso who summarized the task of transitioning to SASE best. “It’s like if you have a new house, and you move your messy garage one piece at a time into the new garage, but you want to keep it organized as you go,” he explained. “The data that needs to move to the cloud is scattered. There are companies dealing with lost data. I think it’ll all eventually get to the cloud, but moving it is complicated.” ​ by Corinna Makris , 06.11.21 ​ Source: www.venturebeat.com
