  • AI, Cyber-Security and Fraud: Navigating the Rapidly Evolving World of Sophisticated Scams

    When Frank Abagnale talks about cybersecurity, he discusses in detail how AI is being used as a weapon against corporations, financial institutions, and businesses. He shows how today’s criminals are able to create extremely impressive credentials, steal data, apply for jobs online using someone else's credentials for a work-at-home opportunity; how AI has changed social engineering tactics and is used to hack businesses such as casinos, insurance companies, healthcare companies and even airlines. Frank Abagnale has always believed that technology and automation breeds crime. This unique program gives audiences the proper tools for fighting back.

  • Cybercrime, Identity Theft and Scams

    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.
