With the proliferation of scam websites, there is a need to step up our cybersecurity measures and protect users, especially the ones who are less savvy. That is why we have invented the Scam Analytics and Tactical Intervention System (SATIS). Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), this platform hunts, analyses and disrupts malicious websites such as bank phishing sites and job scam sites.
SATIS is powered by a technology developed by GovTech — the recursive Machine-Learning Site Evaluator (rMSE). This technology flags scam sites that are sent to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and/or Google for further action.
What are the benefits of SATIS?

How to use SATIS?
Like all good cybersecurity measures, SATIS works in the background and does not require any additional action on your part. Here are two things you can do to maximise its usefulness.
1. Contribute by reporting
Heighten its efficiency by reporting any suspicious web activities via the Scam Shield WhatsApp bot, or the Report a Scam Form.
2. Look out for sites disrupted by SATIS
Your browser will display a red-warning screen by Google and/or a message from SPF if you land on a SATIS-disrupted scam website.
