- Bulletproof Your Business Against Breach: Extinguishing Costly Data Security Hotspots
Learn how to defend your mission critical business information in the age of mobile-social-cloud technology. Identity theft and corporate data loss are a huge financial cost and legal liability to corporations and organizations. It is imperative in the information economy to train your work-force on how to protect company data and information assets, whether they are digital, physical or intellectual. Once your audience has a framework and common language for protecting their own sensitive information, the same tools can be easily adapted to protect valuable corporate data, including the mobile office, cloud computing and social media. Audience members will leave with strategies to successfully protect your company’s data. - Social Engineering Self Defense
Fraud, Deception & Manipulation Detection. Human beings are always the weakest link in the security, privacy and profitability of your information assets. And they are the most overlooked, least expensive weapon in the fight against fraud, data breach and profit erosion. But you can’t train people to detect and deter deception with a dry Power Point presentation. Your audience needs to experience the feelings of fraud first hand; they need to understand the brain science behind manipulation. In this highly interactive session, John takes a deep dive into the tools and tricks used by social engineers. By building reflex-based awareness around how tools like Facebook, trust shortcuts, ego stroking, greed appeals, and cortisol flushing enable social engineers, John will dramatically reduce the threat profile of your executives, employees and even your customers. Instead of your weakest link, those same humans will become your first line of defense. - Cyber Security Crash Course
Digital Defense for Non-Technical Leaders. At the heart of most data theft is lax cyber security: a broad term that will cease to intimidate you after this presentation. Technology evolves so quickly that people fall behind the digital curve and feel overwhelmed by the prospect of protecting the very data that underlies their wealth. In this state, decision makers tend to freeze, make excuses and assume that there is no reasonable, cost-effective way to protect their data. That assumption is both wrong and dangerous. This crash course forges a high-level, non-technical path through the sometimes confusing web of computer security, mobile technology, Internet connectivity, online privacy and cloud computing. In cyber security, you don’t have to do everything, just the right things. John’s presentation focuses on these triggers, including the most critical aspect of cyber security – human behavior. - Think Like a Spy
Aggressive Identity Theft & Fraud Countermeasures. Identity theft and online fraud are destructive side effects of information over-exposure. Due to the power of personally identifying information, we must leverage formidable tools to protect everything from Social Security numbers to bank accounts, from passwords to intellectual property. John delivers those exact tools in a highly interactive, surprisingly humorous presentation inspired by his personal loss of more than $300,000, his business and two years to the ruthless consequences of identity theft. John will help your audience to “own” their identities—to take responsibility for their sensitive data. Developing a personal, emotional connection to data protection benefits everyone’s bottom line. - Digital Spies, Hackers and Internet Attackers
Bulletproofing Privacy in the Information Economy. Every move you make in the digital world is tracked, recorded and exploited. Tools like smartphones, iPads, cloud computing and social media have shifted the competitive landscape in favor of cyber-savvy users, prompting a question: Are you in control of your digital footprint, or are you being controlled? Are you protecting the information your people share on social networks? Are mobile devices and free Wi-Fi a recipe for costly data exposure? If you unknowingly stack the deck in favor of cyber criminals and competitive spies, the results could be devastating. However, if you utilize technology to your advantage, your bottom line benefits. This presentation highlights current data privacy trends as well as practical, tactical solutions.
