Providing Client Security and Ensuring Loyalty: A Guide for Financial Firms
Every week, Robert Siciliano inevitably hears from a distressed financial advisor who has to rescue a client whose accounts have been compromised. The fact is, your moneyed clients are big targets—and they aren’t necessarily cyber savvy.

Social Media Security: Marketing, Extending and Defending Your Online Reputation
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, YELP and LinkedIn are popular social networking sites in both the personal and professional lives of business leaders and their employees. However, the risks we face from sharing too much information are substantial—from personal security to damaged reputations to significant business liabilities that put all operations in jeopardy.

Putting Your Digital Data, Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information on Lockdown: Knowledge is Power You Don’t Want to Lose
In a high-tech, information-based economy, everything we do as a business is recorded and tracked or stolen by someone—whether by your competition, criminal hackers, or a domestic or foreign authority. Once extricated from your hands, the bad guys exploit your valuable information to their advantage or use it against you.

Defending Against the Data Breach: Protect from Spyware, Malware, Ransomware and Keyloggers
Every few seconds, someone has his or her identity stolen. Computers are hacked, wallets are stolen, credit cards are compromised, credit is ruined…and the instigators make more in a day than most of us make in a year. The fact is, the system we function under is set up to fail—and unless consumers know their options, it’s just a matter of time before they are victimized themselves.

Security Appreciation, Not Security Awareness: How Corporations and Financial Institutions are Following Their Hearts to Avoid Being Scammed
Every few seconds, someone’s identity is stolen because data is breached, computers are hacked, credit cards are compromised—and often, as a result, reputations are ruined. When this happens, fingers point at IT, other employees or problem clients.

Protect Your Privacy and Credit From Prying Eyes! Identity Theft Protection Prevention and Awareness
There’s a new face of organized crime: Dumpster divers, criminal hackers, database attackers, carders and mules are all part of organized criminal syndicates, and the work is not all done in a smoky back room anymore—they work out of cheap hotel rooms and mahogany-paneled corporate offices.

Take Charge, Fight Back!: Street-Smart, Street-Safe Personal Security

It’s not just law enforcement professionals and first responders—ordinary men, women and children face risk every day. Consider real estate agents, auto-show presenters, nurses, and many other professionals who interact with strangers—and are often unprepared for an attack by known and unknown assailants.

Mortgage and Real Estate Fraud: A Real House of Cards

Did you know mortgage and real estate fraud is one of the most profitable of all organized criminal acts? With buyers, sellers, mortgage brokers, banks, appraisers, housing inspectors and real estate agents in the mix, a combination of just a couple of these parties working together to “fudge and flip” a transaction can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars lost to myriad innocent parties—and once the fraud is discovered, the finger-pointing begins.

Active Shooter Workplace Violence Prediction and Prevention: Spotting the Red Flags

“If you see something, say something” is a familiar refrain on public transportation and at sporting events, but it doesn’t work without open, proactive, security-conscious minds to go with open eyes and open mouths. Every school shooting and workplace shooting—could have been prevented with crowdsourced awareness.

Corporate Travel Security at Home and Abroad: Strangers in a Strange Land

There’s nothing like getting out of the office and away from your troubles…until trouble finds you. Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, there are certain pitfalls you face when leaving the comforts of home.

Cyber Social Identity and Personal Protection: Overcoming Cultural Myths and Inaccuracies to Achieve Safety, Security, and Privacy

This is a story of good versus evil. Black hat bad guys versus white hat good guys. The smartest people on earth battling it out 24/7/365 and it’s not just billions of dollars at stake, it’s also life and death. The characters in this real-life drama used to be hooded criminals in their mom’s basement or just back-alley street thugs. Today it’s organized crime syndicates aka “web mobs” all the way up to state-sponsored geniuses with unlimited access to the best technologies on the planet. But don’t be mistaken, the word “hacker” doesn’t properly describe them. These are Predators and their methods mirror the deviousness and callousness of the worst sociopaths on earth.

Their targets: YOU. Your organization, its money, client data, propriety secrets and war room strategies.

Their methods? Preying upon your people’s good nature via the civilized conditioning that’s been used by their parents to raise good boys and girls. In this story, for starters, we expose raw data, Social Security numbers on Russian hacking forums, millions of usernames and passwords in plain sight and credit card numbers for sale on the Dark Web, and so much more.

This is a fully interactive event from the moment Robert gets on the platform. The audience asks a TON of “how, why, and what do we do now?” questions. Most have never had the chance or opportunity to ask a seasoned expert any, and all questions they’ve ever had regarding all things “predatory mindset” designed to facilitate a robust security culture. The goal of this event isn’t the common requested “Security Awareness”, but an evolved behavior changing “Security Appreciation” that gets results.

So, when the meeting planner wants “Something Different” tell them they want “Cyber Social Identity and Personal Protection: Overcoming Cultural Myths and Inaccuracies to Achieve Safety, Security, and Privacy”
