Scott Augenbaum

Scott Augenbaum is on a mission to protect people in today’s digital landscape. During his remarkable 30-year career with the FBI, Augenbaum witnessed countless instances where cybercriminals devastated the lives and businesses of good people. As Supervisory Special Agent of the FBI’s Cyber Task Force in Nashville, Tennessee, he interviewed over 1,000 cybercrime victims. Unfortunately, the outcomes weren’t always in the victims’ favor. However, through these experiences, Augenbaum uncovered a startling truth: most of these crimes could have been easily prevented if the victims had been armed with just a few key pieces of information.

Augenbaum’s commitment to prevention has shaped his post-FBI career. Since retiring in 2018, he has traveled the world speaking at conferences, delivering keynote presentations, and building training programs for some of the largest companies. His focus is on empowering organizations and individuals to adopt the CyberSecure Mindset—an approach that goes beyond technology to emphasize smart decisions and proactive strategies to stay safe in an increasingly dangerous digital world.

Augenbaum is also a trusted voice in the media, frequently appearing as a guest contributor on major cable news networks like Newsmax and Fox to discuss cybercrime trends and prevention strategies. His clear, actionable advice resonates with everyone—from corporate leaders to everyday families trying to protect themselves online.

As the author of “The Secret to Cybersecurity: A Simple Plan to Protect Your Family and Business from Cybercrime” and the co-founder of Stealth Family, Augenbaum has set an ambitious goal: to help 1 million families stay safe from cybercrime in the next five years. Whether it’s through his speaking engagements, media appearances, or training programs, Augenbaum is dedicated to making cybersecurity simple and accessible for everyone.
