If you missed out on last night's Tech Thursday, you missed a deep dive into the world of User Interfaces and User Experience design. The panel covered a wide range of concepts, processes, and concerns shaping product design today. Here are just some of the key takeaways from the amazing discussion: 💥 UI/UX focuses more on user behavior than graphic design. 💥 UI has evolved from making things visually appealing to guiding user actions on apps/sites. 💥 Ethical design and simplicity are crucial, while gamification is a growing trend. 💥 Personalized content and experiences are at the forefront of design evolution. 💥 Challenges include avoiding homogeneity and finding effective internal processes. 💥 Prompt Engineering will become part of the UI/UX process #TechThursday #UIUX #DesignThinking Adam VittAdam RehillCorinne GusnoskiJenna HnatishinAlisher K.Al SajjadiehMaryna KernychnaMarcus WiensSteve Lozano Michael HarmerShaelynn StimpsonBashir MustaphaDerek Boutang, FCPA, FCMASteven Maxted Michael Coutts Ravneet Kaur

#winnipeg #techthursday for January 18th "To Catch a Fraudster: How Fintechs and Police Stop Bad Actors’  Panel: Stephen Oyewole, Financial Crimes Director Neo Financial,  Blair Savinkoff, Detective Sargent Winnipeg Police Service, Financial Crimes Unit / Cyber Investigations Team Moderator: Marta Terffa, Director of Financial Crimes Neo Financial Tech Thursday Host Paul Card Neo Financial Startup TNT host Richard Tuck Sponsored By: SkipTheDishes Neo Financial Manitoba Technology Accelerator Norima Consulting Inc. Amiron Ventures Go Oil,Amazon Web Services (AWS),Snowflake Another great discussion on Cyber Fraud with great insights from two people who see the fraud activity happening daily and the major impacts it's having on both individuals and corporations. The number one source of fraudulent activities is still email whether it's from social engineering or clicking on links that load Malware, email is still the biggest vector of fraud. Corporations both big & small are still being attacked with the banking system changes spoof where a bad actor sends emails to suppliers with the “new” fake banking information that some suppliers change and the scammers pocket the money before anyone spots the issue. One of the biggest areas of discussion last night was how “we” as society could help reduce the fraud vectors. Some of the ideas that came out of the discussion were: ✔ More training for users of all types on how to spot scams ✔ Better controls for the speed of transactions i.e. slow them down so they can be stopped sooner by account holders ✔ New ways to control transactions e.g. Digital currency Another interesting piece of information supplied by Detective Savinkoff was that many fraud attempts with older people were stopped simply because a more tech savvy family member saw the signs before it was too late. Talk to your family members about Cyber Fraud! From an investigation perspective things are improving in the way Police & Financial Companies can find and track down scammers,  but the process is still lengthy and requires evidence gathering like the need for official records from financial institutions and users.  Many victims hope they can get their money back but it's neither guaranteed nor a speedy process.
