Safeshop -- Insurance to Protect Against Online Shopping Fraud
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project develops a new type of insurance, online shopping insurance. The project focused on generating a method to calculate the cost of the insurance by collecting data from the Internet Crime Complaint Center’s annual reports. I created a simulation model to test the profitability and analyzed ways to reduce the risk. In addition to adding restrictions to the insurance compensation, I introduced the idea of cooperating with an anti-virus software company and analyzed the benefits.
