PORGiESOFT Announces Expansion of Core Business Units with Launch of Fraud Awareness AI Avatars and Fraud Intelligence Division, Driven by Landscape and Client Demand

September 1, 2024 (Cambridge, UK) – PORGiESOFT Security today announced the expansion of its core business with the launch of two new dedicated units: Fraud Awareness and Fraud Intelligence. Together, these initiatives will strengthen fraud resilience by combining cutting-edge AI technology with research-driven insights increasing its market presence.

Fraud has become a systemic issue in the UK, with smishing, phishing, vishing, and impersonation attacks targeting citizens daily. According to PORGiESOFT’s own Smishing Threat Report, more than 60% of UK citizens were targeted in the past year, while impersonation of banks and parcel delivery companies accounted for nearly 70% of reported attacks.

Fraud Awareness AI Avatars

The Fraud Awareness unit will leverage hyper-realistic AI avatars, powered by generative AI, to deliver interactive, multilingual fraud education. Target audiences include:

• • Citizens – teaching everyday people how to spot scams.

  • Employees & Suppliers – protecting enterprises from fraud infiltration via human error.

  • Public Sector Staff – equipping frontline workers to advise vulnerable citizens.

Delivered via secure portals, the avatars combine gamified content with real-world scam case studies, providing an engaging, scalable alternative to traditional awareness training

Fraud Intelligence Division

The Fraud Intelligence unit addresses a critical gap: real-time visibility into emerging fraud threats. While fraudsters constantly evolve their tactics, many organisations lack the means to systematically monitor, analyse, and curate fraud-related intelligence.

PORGiESOFT’s solution tackles this by conducting continuous news and fraud threat monitoring. At regular intervals — weekly, monthly, or quarterly — the threat intelligence team curates, develops and distributes digital PDF assets that provide actionable insights into fraud trends. These reports are built on robust analysis of SMS, email, and social media scams, enhanced by web listening tools and industry horizon scanning to identify both current and predicted threats.

By transforming fragmented news coverage into structured intelligence, the Fraud Intelligence division enables financial institutions, courier companies, and government agencies to understand the fraud landscape more clearly, anticipate emerging risks, and proactively protect citizens.

“With these two business units, we’re addressing fraud from both sides – prevention through awareness and detection through tactical intelligence,” said Gina Ojaokomo, SVP Threat Intelligence at PORGiESOFT Security. “It’s about protecting people while also giving organisations the insights they need to be on alert or fight back. These business units have been driven by client demand and the evolving technology, cyber and fraud landscape. We are excited to launch these business units and deliver digital anti-fraud assets and solutions to clients.”

A National-Scale Mandate

By combining awareness education with threat intelligence, PORGiESOFT Security is positioning itself as the trusted fraud protection partner for citizens, enterprises, and government agencies. The initiative supports organisational cyber security mandates and strategies by reducing vulnerability, increasing fraud intelligence, and strengthening public awareness.
