For over 40 years he has worked with, advised and consulted with hundreds of financial institutions, corporations and government agencies around the world.
"Mr. Abagnale’s rare blend of knowledge and expertise began more than 50 years ago when he was known as one of the world’s most famous con men. His riveting story provided the inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s 2002 film, 'Catch Me If You Can,'starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Abagnale and Tom Hanks as the FBI agent fast on his heels. The Tony-Award winning musical, 'Catch Me If You Can,' directed by the legendary Jack O’Brien, opened on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in April of 2011."

They will provide specific insights to help you protect yourself, your business and your family from identity theft and other cyber security threats."
