How are You VIRTUALLY Engaging Your People in the new Cyber Reality?
Cybercriminals, Identity thieves, and scammers love to exploit a crisis. While our attention is focused elsewhere (e.g., COVID-19 and the economy), hackers take advantage of the new software we are using (Zoom), highly-profitable scams (fake stimulus payment sites) and our general sense of panic and confusion. Taking smart steps to protect your identity, devices, online accounts and the wealth they connect to is more critical than ever. In this webinar, cybersecurity author and expert John Sileo, you will leave with concrete tools to protect what is rightfully yours, now and long after the crisis recedes.

Cyber Threats, Trends & Leadership Mid/Post-Pandemic
The rules of cybercrime have changed. Much of the workforce has gone remote, making old notions of "perimeter security" outdated. Cybercriminals are leveraging panic and crisis to fuel and fund social engineering schemes, ransomware attacks and core-systems hacking. Cloud computing, virtual meetings and Zoomhacking now play an increasingly critical role in our daily workspace. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our eye on threats and trends beyond the current crisis. In this virtual presentation, John shares the latest vulnerabilities and solutions affecting cyberspace as we adjust personally and professionally to our new environment.

(This webinar is focused on leaders, organizations and end users looking to defend their data in a redefined cyberspace.)

Social Engineering Self Defense
Anti-Fraud and social engineering training only works when your people experience it 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.

Protecting Your Privacy in the Surveillance Economy
Smart speakers and digital assistants like Alexa, Google and Siri eavesdrop on the conversations you have at home and work, sharing your preferences and behaviors with their "partners". Super cookies collect your browsing history even when you have cookies turned off, selling your privacy to the highest bidder. Mobile phone providers track and trade your location while social media sites like Facebook and Instagram build psychographic dossiers that classify you according to your attitudes, aspirations and psychological profile. And you sit there, unaware, both a fan and victim of the two faces of technology: convenience and surveillance. Your Data is Showing focuses on taking back your privacy with skills that apply across the ever-changing tactics of clever marketers, digital advertisers and cyber criminals.

Critical Cybersecurity Threats & Solutions
The heart of good cybersecurity starts with the human beings that help it flourish, or fail. To avoid becoming the next disastrous data-breach headline, you must foster a healthy balance between computer security and human behavior. Cybersecurity isn't just about overspending on shinier technology – it's about building a mindset and culture that evolves with the threats.

This crash course forges a high-level, non-technical path through the confusing web of cybersecurity, human decision making, network protection, mobile technology, the Internet of Things, social media and cloud computing—critical components of your information strategy. In this presentation, John will leverage his story of losing his business to cybercrime as a blueprint for how to protect the information that drives your organization.

Cyber Security 2020: Emerging Threats, Trends & Tactics
The cyber-threat landscape is shifting in new and critical directions. While financial gain still drives cybercrime, the accumulation and exercise of raw power is the latest holy grail. Criminals are strategically leveraging potent tools, from hacking the news cycle (fake news) to manipulating outcomes (election fraud), from weaponizing the Internet of Things (cyber warfare) to exploiting information for the purpose of extortion (cyber blackmail). The common mistake is to think that these trends won't affect an organization like yours or people like you. And that is where the danger lies. Cyber Security 2020 is full of solutions to help you plan and prepare for the latest wave of threats before they land on your shores, saving you time, money and reputational damage.

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.

C-Level Cybersecurity:
Building a Bulletproof Culture of Security
Security awareness starts at the top. Cybercriminals 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 the next disastrous headline – reputation damaged, customers fleeing. Cybercrime and corporate data breach are a huge financial cost and legal liability to organizations. This does not have to be your fate. As a leader, you must learn to cope with a wide range of cyber threats with little to no technical background, limited resources and almost no lead time. The answer lies in your preparation and strength of culture. This presentation aims at leaders looking to imbue their culture with security strategies from the boardroom to the break room. John leverages his work with clients like the Pentagon and Schwab to help you develop a prioritized punch list of critical action items.

White Hot Security Trends: Threats, Thoughts & Tactics

If you have ever had John present before, this is Part II of the series, giving your audience an update on the latest cyber security issues that they will no longer ignore. This session utilizes Appreciative Inquiry techniques that leverage the skills your workforce already has and builds on the aspects of cyber security that already work inside of your culture. Using audience interaction and case studies, John will go in depth into the latest trends and counter-tactics to help your audience understand the risks and protect their critical data assets.
