UN-HACKABLE
5 Power Mindsets for Defending Your Data

Hackers don’t just adapt to change; they bank on it. Has your mindset evolved? The rapid expansion of remote workforces, cloud jacking, the Internet of Things, ransomware gangs, supply chain attacks, social engineering and disinformation campaigns have altered the way we must defend our organizational data, privacy and profits. A faulty adage asserts that humans are your weakest link, and left unaddressed, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Cybersecurity doesn’t grow from shinier tools, but from the powerful intersection between humans and technology. In UN-HACKABLE, John will leverage potent lessons learned from losing his business and wealth to cybercrime, wrongly facing jail time and ultimately, how to turn all three to your advantage.

The Art of Human Hacking
Social Engineering Self Defense

Anti-fraud and social engineering training only work when your people experience it for themselves. Humans can be the weakest link or the strongest competitive advantage in the security and profitability of your information. But people are the most commonly underutilized weapon in your fight against cybercrime. Don’t surrender to Death by PowerPoint; training needs to be engaging to be effective. This presentation makes security interactive, so that it sticks. John will use his own losses to social engineering to illustrate the tools and tricks used to separate you from your critical data, including: System 1& 2 reflexes, social media harvesting, trust shortcuts, ego stroking, greed appeals, and cortisol flushing. John’s closing story, your audience will be fully empowered to detect and deter social engineering and fraud.

Building a Bulletproof Culture of Security
A Crash Course for Savvy Leaders

To avoid becoming the next disastrous data-breach headline, you must foster a healthy culture of security that addresses both the technological and human elements of data defense. Change happens when you create energy and buy-in among the people who handle your mission-critical information. When it comes to the latest data security threats, you can’t possibly do everything—but you must do the right things. This cyber security training crash course forges a high-level, non-technical path through the often-confusing web cybersecurity. This highly interactive presentation builds on John’s experience losing everything to cybercrime, continues with a live hacking demo of an audience member and ends with an actionable Roadmap of Next Steps.

The Surveillance Economy
Privacy Protection in a Data-Obsessed World

Smart speakers and digital assistants like Alexa, Google and Siri eavesdrop on the conversations you have at home and work, sharing your behaviors with their “partners”. Super cookies collect your browsing history, selling your privacy to the highest bidder. Mobile phone providers track and trade your location while social media sites build psychographic dossiers that classify you according to your psycho-social profile. Identity thieves hack all of these sources, banking on your data and wealth. Your Data is Showing focuses on taking control of your identity and privacy. Due to the rapid rate at which information is being compromised, you must leverage the very latest prevention tools to protect everything from your Social Security number to bank account, from passwords to confidential emails. John delivers these identity theft and privacy countermeasures in a highly interactive speech inspired by his loss of more than $300,000 to ID theft.
