Seminar

Eighty-one percent (81%) of hacking-related breaches leveraged stolen and/or weak passwords. Your employees will likely be the cause of your company's downfall.

The Locking the Cookie Jar Seminar can be customized for businesses, neighborhood groups, networking groups, professional seminars, families, classrooms, and individuals.

While anti-embezzlement aspects can be included for department leadership and security professionals, most organizations and groups benefit by teaching your computer users how to avoid being the victim of a hacker. When they become a victim, your organization can be a victim.

This fun and easy-to-follow seminar can help bring all employees to a common understanding that they are often the weak link in company security. The lessons taught can save companies significant dollars (see the animated figures below). The Return on Investment (ROI) this training seminar offers is high and will easily pay for itself many times over.

The cost of being victimized by a hacker is significant and the risk is increasing. InfoWorld stated: The scale of attacks against financial institutions indicate criminals are moving away from low-value consumer-related attacks such as identity and credit card theft in favor of high-value attacks. “The old ‘smash and grab’ jobs are becoming carefully orchestrated and executed jobs,” said Mike Davis, CTO of CounterTack.

For example, Gawker's database of emails and passwords was not only hacked by a group called Gnosis, but they deciphered over 250,000 of the passwords and posted them online!
This resulted in MILLIONS of accounts on other systems being hacked because people tend to use the same password for multiple accounts. The identify theft damage and financial theft could not be calculated. 

Here's a visual list of hundreds of data breaches. Each one puts YOUR company at risk.

What you will learn:

• The potential damage that can be done with a stolen password
• Why your email account is the “Holy Grail” to a hacker
• How hackers obtain your password
• The difference between a weak password and a strong password
• The 5 things a hacker knows
• How to create “hacker-proof” passwords!

You will be able to create hacker-proof passwords with the following features:

• Impossible to guess, even by your closest friends and relatives
• Complex enough to be mathematically impossible for hacking programs
• Easy to remember
• Unique for every single online account 
• And yes… they can even be safely written down!

Sounds impossible? Nope! "Mr. Alvord describes the ultimate formula to develop AND remember multiple passwords. Great sidebars and tips throughout for continued reference and oh yes, a bit of humor sprinkled throughout as well! Makes this book easy reading!" - Jodi Riolo (Amazon 5-star review)

• If you'd like us to provide a free book to all attendees (retailed at $20 but we can give significant discounts depending on the arrangement)

    • A combined Embezzlement and Hacker-proof seminar that covers both topics in a compressed timeframe with limited interaction with the speaker.
  • 2 Hours and beyond: This allows for extensive group interaction, small breakout sessions to work on scenarios, time to deal with a company's custom situation, etc.

Suggested Sample Pricing:

For a local seminar to a membership organization, we can charge $30 to members and $50 to non-members, and include a free book to all attendees.

To train a local company department, we might charge $20 per attendee with a minimum price. We can negotiate our rates depending on several factors.

For a large, regional trade show, we might provide a breakout session for $1,500 or a keynote presentation teaching the very cool Hacker-proof Password technique for a higher price. But again, there are a lot of factors involved.
