Think Like a Spy: Bulletproofing Your Identity (45-75 Minutes)

The biggest threat to our identities (and to valuable corporate data) is our lack of a Privacy Reflex. Few of us have ever been trained to respond appropriately when someone requests our sensitive information. Think of how easily you give your information away on the internet when someone promises you a free gift.

In Think Like a Spy: Bulletproofing Your Identity, your audience will experience what it feels like to become the victim of identity theft. Until we see firsthand how destructive this crime can be (personally and professionally) identity theft is easy to ignore. And until we are trained to respect our own privacy, there is no way we will respect the sensitive data stored in our businesses. By the time your audience walks out the door, they will not only be inspired to take action personally and professionally, but they will experience, first hand:

• The #1 Obstacle to Privacy and how to overcome it
• How to Think Like a Spy: applying espionage techniques to data protection
• Bulletproofing Intellectual Property in your organization

MySpace isn't MySpace: Protecting Young Adults' Privacy (45 Minutes)

Every parent and young adult should be aware of the fact that college-age students are at the highest risk of identity theft and general abuse of private information.

• How to avoid the bad financial habits of adults (over-extended credit cards, debt, information regurgitation, something for nothing syndrome, etc.)
• How to detect frauds, scams & social engineering before they bite

This program does not talk to parents about what role they can play in protecting their young adult, but those materials can be added for the appropriate audience.
