Think Like a Spy: Aggressive Identity Theft Protection
Identity theft training is no longer optional. Every move you make in the digital world can be tracked, hacked, recorded and exploited. Threat sources like smartphones, the Internet of Things, wearable technology, cloud computing and social media have shifted the competitive landscape in favor of cyber-savvy users with strong identity theft training, prompting a question: Are you in control of your data, or are you being controlled? Due to the power of personally identifying information and the rapid rate at which information is being compromised, we must leverage prevention tools to protect everything from our Social Security numbers to bank accounts, from passwords to confidential emails.
John delivers these identity theft countermeasures in a highly interactive, disarmingly humorous presentation inspired by his personal loss of more than $300,000, his business and two years to identity theft. In this presentation, John focuses specifically on identity theft protection tools that apply to every individual in your audience.
Key Takeaways:
Overcoming the #1 obstacle to identity theft prevention
Top trends and countermeasures in protecting personal data
How to apply detect, reflect and respond tools to fraud
Identifying the five manipulation triggers and how to defeat them

The Art of Human Hacking: Social Engineering Self Defense
Fraud training only works when it happens in person. Human beings can be the weakest link or the strongest competitive advantage in the security and profitability of your information assets. But people are the most commonly underutilized, least expensive weapon in your fight against cybercrime. Social Engineering Training too often fails because of Death by PowerPoint. Security needs to be engaging – has to be interactive – to be effective. To put it simply, this session makes security fun, so that it sticks. Additionally, your audience must experience manipulation, deception and fraud first hand before their behaviors are ripe for change.
In this continually-interactive session, John goes deep into social engineering tools and tricks used to separate you from your critical data. By building System-1, Reflex-Based Awareness around how tools like social media, trust shortcuts, ego stroking, greed appeals, and cortisol flushing enable social engineers, John will dramatically reduce the human element of your threat footprint. Safe data is profitable data, whether it’s a client’s credit card number, a patient’s medical file, an employee’s benefit plan or sensitive intellectual capital. By the time John finishes his entertaining closing story, your audience will be fully empowered to detect and deter social engineering, fraud and deception.
Key Takeaways:
How to identify the most common forms of social engineering
Reflexes to instinctually detect manipulation and negative influence
How to apply anti-social-engineering skills in the workplace, in person and at home
Understanding 7 signs of deception and how to combat them
Distinguishing weapons of manipulation from tools of influence

Creating a Compelling Culture of Security: Empowering the Human Element
Security awareness starts at the top. Cyber criminals lust for your corporate data. Competitors bribe your disgruntled employee for a thumb drive full of confidential files. Social engineers exploit your executives’ social media profiles – a veritable “how to” guide for network security access. Hackers “sniff” unprotected IP addresses and cloud traffic you didn’t even know existed. Cyber extortionists encrypt your mission-critical data and demand a ransom. In the meantime, you end up as the next disastrous headline – reputation damaged, customers fleeing. This does not have to be your fate if you move beyond security awareness and into action.
Cybercrime and corporate data breach are a huge financial cost and legal liability to organizations.
But how are you supposed to cope with such a wide range of cyber threats when you have little to no technical background? The answer lies, as does so much of your success, in your preparation and strength of culture. It is imperative in the information economy to train your workforce on how to protect the information assets that fuel your success, whether they are digital, physical or intellectual. Build security awareness training into your daily operations from the boardroom to the break room and watch your risk footprint diminish. In this presentation, John leverages his experience working with clients like the Pentagon and Charles Schwab to give you a prioritized punch list of action items to reduce your chances of a costly data breach.
Key Takeaways:
Map a clear path to a Culture of Security
Understand the subtleties of security awareness training
Gain board “buy-in”, appropriate budgets and staff accountability
Effectively nudge awareness into permanent transformation
Identify and prioritize top cyber threats
Turn theoretical solutions into actionable security strategies
Leverage keystone defense habits to cement change
Incorporate security by design so that it becomes “business-as-usual”
