I help organizations stop data breaches and identity theft by providing security awareness presentations and workshops focused on social engineering, pretext and human hacking. I also provide conference presentations about identity theft and information security.A bit about my background.While working as a private detective in Washington, DC, I discovered information thieves using pretext phone calls and other social engineering techniques to steal personally identifiable information and protected account data from banks and other businesses.I testified before Congress about what I’d uncovered and how customer authentication procedures of many banks and businesses are defeated. Based on my testimony, an anti-pretext section was added to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. I then assisted several federal investigations of information thieves (including Operation Detect Pretext) that resulted in civil prosecutions and changes to authentication practices. I began sharing at conferences about how information thieves steal personal and proprietary information of individuals and businesses. I also began working with companies to train employees how to spot pretext calls and other social engineering methods.Subsequently, I've shared my knowledge with many other federal and state legislative committees and agencies.Additionally, I’ve been retained as an expert witness in civil and criminal matters involving identity theft, social engineering, and pretext phone calls. Further, as an expert for news organizations across the country, I've provided commentary about every major data breach and information security incident since 1998. And, I’ve provided commentary during major national events, including 9/11, the D.C. snipers, and the Virginia Tech massacre.I would like to help your organization or conference attendees stop data breaches and combat identity theft.
