Funds stolen through fraud are almost never recovered, so fraud prevention is the best form of protection. Frank Abagnale takes you behind the scenes to show you how simple strategies can thwart today’s cybercriminals. With vivid examples he uses when training FBI personnel and other law enforcement agencies, Abagnale reveals how identity thieves work, why passwords aren’t keeping you safe, and why protecting yourself against scams has never been more important. Audiences praise his informative and entertaining sessions brimming with practical takeaways for attendees wanting to better protect themselves and their organizations from ever-increasing fraud. Abagnale presents an overview of the topics in a 35-minute PowerPoint presentation followed by 15-25 minutes of Q&A.
In a fresh new format generating exceptional audience feedback, Frank Abagnale first covers the little-known strategies everyone should use to protect themselves against cybercrime, identity theft and scams. Abagnale continually updates these techniques to help audiences stay ahead of cybercriminals, and his expertise has been praised by the FBI, other law enforcement agencies, corporations, associations and individuals across the country and around the globe. Known for his early life portrayed in the hit movie Catch Me If You Can, Abagnale takes the last third of his speech to share the fascinating and unforgettable story of his past — and his lesser-known path from parole to working relentlessly for more than 45 years to protect others from fraud. Audiences leave genuinely inspired by Abagnale’s deeply personal stories about what truly changed his life.
