Frank Abagnale’s transformation from one of the world’s most notorious con men to a highly sought-after international cybercrime and fraud prevention consultant is remarkable.

He captivates audiences by drawing on his best sellers, Scam Me If You Can, The Art of the Steal, and Stealing Your Life. He takes you behind the scenes to reveal simple strategies that can thwart today’s cyber criminals. Today his perspective and counsel have guided not only the FBI but more than half of the Fortune 500 companies in America.

Mr. Abagnale keeps a keen eye on the latest techniques developed by high-tech criminals to deceive and steal. He provides a deep understanding of today’s evolving security landscape and takeaways for stopping scammers in their tracks. But more importantly, he shares his vision of how to make the world a safer place.

Mr. Abagnale’s unique expertise and first-hand experience have made his contributions to the world of cyber security immeasurable. The FBI and more than 14,000 financial institutions, corporations, and government agencies worldwide utilize Mr. Abagnale’s fraud prevention programs.

He is a premier cyber security speaker, appearing at the FBI Academy and Bureau field offices and as a faculty member at the National Advocacy Center.

A best-selling author of five books, including the most recent Scam Me If You Can: Simple Strategies to Outsmart Today’s Rip-off Artists, Mr. Abagnale has also contributed articles for ThreatAdvice, Financial Fraud Law Report, and USA Today.
