3 technologies allied to brands in the fight against digital fraud in social commerce platforms

E-commerce is in a new phase, expanding beyond proprietary sites and migrating to high-engagement networks such as TikTok e Instagramthe growth of social commerce, with platforms such as TikTok Shop for example, it challenges companies to rethink their sales and digital security strategies. According to Santander's projection, this new TikTok functionality can capture between 5% and 9% of all Brazilian e-commerce in the next three years, becoming a major competitor in national digital retail & also a new ground for fraudulent actions.
 

The fast and uncomplicated dynamics that drive conversion in social commerce also opens critical loopholes for fraudsters.In these channels, it has become increasingly frequent to create fake profiles, purchases with leaked cards, bot attacks and social engineering.“In the dynamics of social commerce, more is needed than traditional anti-fraud processes. Solutions that use adaptive intelligence and deep behavioral analysis are more effective, as they can protect without harming the user experience”, explains Thiago Bertacchini, a specialist in fraud prevention and Head of Sales of Sales at the company Nethone, a solution from Mangopay.

The following expert highlights 3 key solutions to strengthen online sales security on social commerce platforms:

Behavioral biometrics

Using real-time behavioral biometrics, companies can identify and block threats before they become a real risk. By mapping user behavior, this technology, coupled with artificial intelligence, allows for accurate identity validation and predicts fraud attempts based on more than 130 unique signals.This approach, used by Nethone in digital fraud prevention, offers a complete view of each interaction, enabling personalized security strategies that stop suspicious activity without compromising the experience of real consumers.

Vector identifier

Technologies such as Vector Identifier, a proprietary device fingerprinting solution, are able to recognize devices accurately even in situations where fraudsters delete browser data or use anonymous browsing, as they generate a stable and persistent ID for each digital environment, allowing to track suspicious behavior even in the face of masking attempts. By detecting complex patterns and malicious uses, the tool significantly reduces false positives and ensures greater assertiveness in fraud prevention.

Use of Machine Learning to identify anomalies

Fraudsters use a number of features to circumvent security systems, such as devices, connections and cloaked browsers. To deal with them, it is essential to have machine learning-based solutions that analyze the digital environment and detect subtle signs of manipulation before the checkout.Nethone technology, for example, is able to identify the use of virtual machines, customized browsers and inconsistent network patterns, which allows the differentiation between legitimate customers and users with suspicious activities, increasing the security of real purchases without any friction for legitimate users.

According to Thiago, in the current scenario of new sales channels, ensuring that these environments are safe, scalable and reliable is a strategic asset in the digital environment, as it prioritizes the purchase journey. Integrating anti-fraud solutions is not only a matter of mitigation, but also of ensuring reputation, customer experience and sustainability of the digital business. “Consumer trust is not only born from brand communication, but from the technology that sustains it.When security is integrated from the first click to the finalization of the purchase, it becomes a competitive differential”, concludes.

Behind innovation: the decision that defines the future

Behind innovation: the decision that defines the future

For many, thinking about technology is still synonymous with futurology. Perhaps because of the nonlinear evolution that sometimes surprises us, or the ruptures that suddenly change the course of what seemed predictable, there are still those who believe it is impossible to anticipate the next wave.

However, when we look closer, we note that the history of technology was not a completely unpredictable journey. In addition to the great leaps, its progress has been sustained by discrete but decisive bases. This is where a truth arises, sometimes uncomfortable: it is not enough to innovate; it is also necessary to choose carefully where to implement this innovation so that it does not collapse with the first change in tide.

In technology, attention cannot be only on today; it has to be also on the future. Based on this, the idea of a time-tested infrastructure makes sense. And it does not require magic or divination. It requires strategy. It takes sensitivity to look beyond the “bits and bytes” and understand that underneath everything that is visible, there is a critical layer that cannot fail.

Many people think of cloud, artificial intelligence, automation and microservices. But what keeps all this together?What is the common layer that allows applications to run, that systems communicate with each other and that data travel safely from one end of the planet to another? This layer 'this digital backbone 'has a name that is rarely mentioned outside the technical world, but that allows all this to happen: the operating system.

Without glamour or marketing, the operating system has for decades been the bridge between hardware and software, between ideas and their execution.No matter how revolutionary a new application is 'DO without a robust, secure and adaptable operating system, it will not make it to production. There is no confidence. There is no scale. There is no future.

Today, this layer takes on even more importance because we are entering a hybrid era, in which traditional and modern environments must coexist.An era in which technical talent is scarce, budgets are tight and cyber attacks are increasing; automation is not a luxury but a necessity; and AI is no longer an experiment, but a driver of competitive advantage.

So why don't we talk about the operating system anymore? Why don't we recognize that such a “basic decision as choosing the right system can be what allows & makes innovation difficult?The answer may be in its nature: the operating system is invisible but it is everywhere. And like everything that is essential, we tend to forget it.

It is therefore worth taking a closer look at what it means to have a future-proof operating system that not only runs processes, but can become the real enabler of sustained digital transformation.

All of this can be found in Enterprise Linux, a Linux distribution created from carefully selected, rigorously tested and validated content within a broad ecosystem of hardware and software partners.Unlike many community-provided distributions, Enterprise Linux offers not only innovation and performance, but also continuous security, technical support and proven stability.It is the foundation on which organizations can build without fear, knowing that they can scale, modernize and evolve without losing control.

Evolving along with the market

This view is not only theoretical, it is backed by decades of adoption and trust IDC56% of enterprises using public clouds and 49% of those operating in private clouds rely on enterprise Linux as the base operating system, precisely because of the additional services it offers.

A leader in this market for more than 25 years, Red Hat continually reinvents Enterprise Linux to stay on the cutting edge - not as an isolated piece, but as a connective tissue between the past, present and technological future.

Its latest release, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, is a concrete response to today's most pressing challenges. Its strength comes from the power of open source: a model that combines transparency, collaboration and innovation to anticipate problems, not just react to them. This allows companies to create ready-made solutions for a world where artificial intelligence and quantum computing will no longer be futuristic topics to become the new normal.

The impact goes beyond the technical. Report IDC's recent report shows that companies standardizing their infrastructure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux reap tangible benefits: operational savings, increased productivity, performance improvements, and enabling new initiatives.This is estimated to translate into profits equivalent to US$ 26 million annually, with a return on investment (ROI) of 313% over three years.

Decisions guided by innovation

The new operating system release represents an important step in helping organizations address important current challenges such as containing deviations, making better decisions from the beginning of the service lifecycle, strengthening security, intelligently automating and reducing reliance on highly specialized skills thanks to AI-based tools.

Modernizing the digital base of a company has a real impact on people's lives. From the protection of banking data to the smooth operation of delivery applications and the efficiency of virtual assistants in call centers, it all depends on 'Silently 'Mindly 'The robustness of the operating system behind the scenes.

In a world where more devices are connected every day and astronomical volumes of data are generated, any failure in this database can have huge consequences for businesses and consumers. Therefore, advances in operating systems not only transform organizations: they also improve the digital experience of millions of people, helping to solve the challenges of the present and opening the doors to the future.

SMEs still stumble on digital presence and lose market space

SMEs still stumble on digital presence and lose market space

Digital transformation is no longer a competitive advantage is a basic condition of survival. Even so, 7 out of 10 micro and small companies still have a digital presence considered unsatisfactory, according to a survey by Serasa Experian Samuel Modesto, business mentor and founder of SM Group, the largest ecosystem of business solutions in the San Francisco Valley, the absence of a clear digital strategy directly compromises the billing of small businesses.“Being online today does not mean just having an Instagram profile, but knowing how to position yourself, how to communicate value and how to convert followers into” customers, he says.

For local businesses, often run by a single person or with a small team, digital marketing can seem complex and inaccessible. However, the expert reinforces that it is possible to start with simple tools and well-targeted strategies.

Digital identity: more than presence, it is positioning

A well-built digital identity helps the consumer to identify the business, its values and differentials in a few seconds. This includes from the tone of communication to the visual coherence between website, social networks and service. “When the company does not know who it is or what it delivers in a unique way, the public also does not understand. This pushes the consumer away and impairs the construction of the” brand, explains Modesto.

For regional businesses, it is critical to value local identity and create real connections with the public.Real photos, authentic stories and customer testimonials help create proximity and increase consumer trust.

Accessible tools for small business owners

With few resources, it is possible to start effective strategies. Modesto indicates three basic paths:

  • Google My Business: free, allows the company to be found more easily in local searches.
  • Instagram and WhatsApp Business: ideal for creating direct customer relationships and facilitating orders.
  • Canva and CapCut: free tools to produce visual content in a practical and professional-looking way.

“The secret is in consistency. Better to publish less, but with quality, than to get lost in a routine that does not deliver value. The public realizes when there is truth and professionalism, even in simple things”, points the business mentor.

Mistakes that hinder online growth

Among the main mistakes made by small entrepreneurs in digital are: not responding to messages with agility, copying models of large companies without adapting to the local reality and neglecting the monitoring of metrics. “people who invest in ads and do not know how many people clicked or bought. Without keeping track of the data, there is no way to know what is going right or wrong”, warns Modesto.

Another recurring mistake is to treat the digital environment as something separate from the physical operation. “Everything must be integrated.What the company promises online needs to deliver at the point of sale or in the service provided.

Digitalization as a bridge to growth

Businesses that structure their digital presence based on data and authenticity can reach new audiences and retain customers more easily. “Small companies have an asset that giants do not have: proximity. When they take advantage of this strategically, they can build solid and relevant brands even with lean budgets”, he concludes Samuel Modesto, author of the book Beyond Numbers, which deals with management and innovation in the business environment

Paid traffic delivers 3x higher ROI than organic and already captures 62% of digital marketing budgets

Paid traffic delivers 3x higher ROI than organic and already captures 62% of digital marketing budgets

Visualize a fierce competition in an automobile circuit, where each car is a company vying for consumer attention. At the center of this race, paid traffic is like a turbo that propels vehicles forward, providing the necessary speed to outperform competitors. Without this energy injection, the chances of prominence decrease, and the goal of conquering the target audience becomes a more challenging task.In the universe of digital marketing, those who use, strategically, paid media not only accelerate their presence in the market, but also position themselves as leaders, quickly reaching the ideal customers.

The numbers do not lie: 51.7% of companies plan to increase investments in paid media in 2025, according to a Conversion survey.The reason? The return on investment (ROI) that this channel provides. According to a HubSpot survey, companies investing in paid traffic see an average growth of 40% in the generation of qualified leads. In addition, Google Ads alone generates an average ROI of 200% for advertisers, according to WordSt data. This growth is not for nothing. In a saturated digital scenario, it is enough to be present; it is not enough to be present.

And yet: According to the annual ROI report of Kantar in partnership with MMA Global (2024), paid campaigns have shown an average return 3 times higher than organic strategies. The CMO Survey 2023 study by Duke University found that 62% of digital marketing budgets are being allocated to paid traffic.

For Joao Paulo Sebben de Jesus, owner of PeakX, digital marketing consultancy specializing in customized solutions, the time has gone when it was enough to publish a post and hope that it reached the right audience organically. “Today, paid traffic is the compass that directs the message to the ideal user, at the perfect time and with the most relevant offer. Whether in Google Ads, where we capture the purchase intention, or on Instagram and TikTok, where content generates desire, each platform has its strategic role”.

Joao Paulo explains that Google Ads is ideal for direct conversions, capturing consumers who are already seeking a specific product or service, usually of need, since the level of awareness is high about the solution they seek.“O Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) is excellent for brand building, engagement and to work products that arouse desire, giving us the opportunity to segment our audience to awaken this desire. Even for products of need is interesting, since we can work persuasive content, highlighting a problem, its implication and the need for solution. TikTok Ads is powerful to reach a segmented audience that is best suited to generate the AdB and sales option.

Thus, the choice of the platform is decisive for the results of the campaigns. “We always seek a balance between reach and engagement to strengthen the brand, cost-benefit and return on investment. Unite the platforms strategically like Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok Ads and Google Ads is ideal to create an ecosystem that feeds, surrounding the potential customer in various ways, respecting the characteristics of these fronts and creating complementary communications to take the person from the top to the bottom of the funnel, transforming it into an extremely qualified lead.”

Each of these tools allows businesses to target their ads extremely accurately, considering age, location, interests, purchase intent, and even online behavior.

A practical example: imagine a sportswear store that wants to sell more running shoes. With paid traffic, it can target ads to: people who search for “best running shoes on Google; impact Instagram users who have shown interest in the type of product; and people who have recently interacted with content about sports on TikTok.

This accuracy dramatically increases the chances of conversion, ensuring that every dollar invested generates real return.

With the digital advertising market projected to reach US$ 870 billion by 2027, pressure on businesses to adapt and adopt paid traffic strategies is only likely to increase.

But make no mistake: it's not just about spending more, it's about investing better. The companies that come out ahead are not necessarily the ones with the largest budgets, but rather those that use data, A/B testing and artificial intelligence to refine campaigns continuously.

Well-applied segmentation allows companies to better understand their target audience by identifying their pains, desires and decision triggers. This results in more effective and persuasive communication, increasing customer conversion. According to a survey by Ebit/Nielsen, 70% of online stores already use AI for data analysis and process automation.

Using AI enables advanced optimizations such as intelligent A/B testing, dynamic budget adjustment and audience recognition. “We apply technology in a variety of steps, from creating optimized landing pages to predictive behavior analysis. This ensures that every message is delivered to the right audience at the right time”.

PeakX sees this technology as a great opportunity to optimize campaigns.“The future of paid traffic lies in the fusion of data and creativity. On the one hand, algorithms analyze behaviors, optimize bids and adjust ads in real time.On the other, creative strategies ensure that every look, every copy and every call to action are irresistible”, explains Joao Paulo.

“At the end of the day, what really matters is not just how many clicks were generated, but how many conversions, how many new customers and, above all, how much real growth was achieved”

Slovenia is the country with the highest concentration of wealth in cryptocurrencies in the world

With a value of US$ 240 thousand per capita, Slovenia is the country with the highest concentration of wealth in cryptocurrencies in the world. In the second place is Cyprus (US$ 174.97 thousand), followed by Hong Kong (US$ 97.53 thousand) and South Korea (US$ 94.83 thousand). This is what the data of the Crypto Wealth Concentration Index in Crypto from Multipolitan, a pioneer global migration platform, which recently launched the study Crypto Friendly Cities Index of the world also appears in the Index Index.20.

To arrive at an in-depth analysis, the calculation of the indicator took into account the rates of ownership of cryptoassets and the volume of trading (adjusted by the Gini coefficient of inequality). “O Index goes beyond simple data, it is a strategic tool that guides decisions on reallocation, business growth and asset management. Knowing where crypto wealth is concentrated today will define the global financial landscape of tomorrow. The big question now is no longer about who is adopting cryptocurrencies, but rather who will hold the keys to this wealth in the future”, highlights Dan Marconi, Head of Partnerships at Multipolitan.

He explains that wealth in crypto assets no longer belongs exclusively to traditional financial centers such as New York, London or Singapore. It is borderless, fluid and finds new homes where innovation and regulatory clarity converge.“Cities and nations that understand this dynamic will be the protagonists of the next financial era. The financial capital of the future will be the one that actively adopts the” cryptocurrencies, Marconi explains.

England, for example, does not appear in the ranking composed of 20 countries. In addition, only three nations of the American continent are present: Canada in ninth position, with US$ 57.33 thousand; Chile in 14th, with a concentration of US$ 33.71 thousand; and the United States in 17th, with US$ 23.27 thousand in trading volume per crypto asset owner.

“Latin America has long faced obsolete financial infrastructure, which hinders economic progress and limits financial inclusion.Most of these include high friction in cross-border payments, high remittance rates, low financial inclusion and persistent currency volatility.Millions of people continue to lack access to banking services and small businesses face difficulties in obtaining credit, in addition to the inflationary issue”, Marconi enumerates.

Another data that draws attention is the positioning of Ukraine, at war with Russia since the beginning of 2022. In the Crypto Wealth Concentration Index, the country appears in 7th place, with the value of US$ 74.2 thousand per person. “High volume is related to the conflict itself. Cryptocurrencies have become a nimble means to transfer and store resources, both for civilians and for international donations. Ukraine has received hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto donations for humanitarian and military support”, he explains.

DOOH advances in Brazil and 71% of companies plan to increase investments, shows unprecedented research from IAB Brazil

An unprecedented survey developed by IAB Brazil in partnership with Galaxies points to a growth scenario for the Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) market in the country. According to the study, 71% of companies in Brazil intend to increase investments in the channel in the coming months. Another 28% will maintain the current volume, while only 2% indicate intention to reduce.

“More than numbers, this research offers us an insight into how the market has adopted DOOH and programmatic DOOH, the main challenges faced by agencies, advertisers and vehicles, and the opportunities that open up for the future, and that are many”, explains Silvia Ramazzotti, chair of the DOOH committee at IAB Brazil and director of marketing at JCDecaux. 

DOOH is mainly used to increase brand visibility (68%), promote products and services (39%) and, to a lesser extent, to generate direct conversion (14%). The guaranteed programmatic model, which ensures the delivery of ads, is preferred by most companies (53%) for offering greater predictability. Formats such as open auction (27%) and not guaranteed (20%) are still less common, as they require more technical knowledge, Currently, for 34% of the companies, Elet 10th3T of the investment in the 1st and DOTP1 represents the total investment of the 13T.

The study identified the main challenges for the advancement of programmatic DOOH: lack of standardized metrics (43%), limited integration with other channels (31%), high costs (30%) and restricted inventory (28%). In addition, 91% of professionals point to the need for training, especially in measuring results and channel integration.

The research used the technology of synthetic personas, created from real interviews with professionals in the sector. With the support of artificial intelligence, the collected answers are analyzed and transformed into digital profiles that represent the different types of participants. Thus, even with a smaller sample, the research allows the strategic deepening of analysis and understanding of the public quickly and accurately, with assertiveness of up to 98%.

“Synthetic persona technology represents a significant methodological advance for the DOOH market, enabling accurate and instant predictive analytics. The insights generated by this approach enable more assertive investment decisions and optimized targeting strategies for the different DOOH formats.We are just at the beginning of the application of this technology, which has the potential to revolutionize how we measure results and integrate DOOH with other” channels, says Daniel Victorino, CEO of Galaxies.

The survey was conducted with 133 people and had the collection ended on April 7, 2025. People from the areas of Media and Planning, Marketing and Communication and also Creativity were interviewed.
