Microphone on the stage

Abagnale“Catch Me If You Can” author and film subject Frank Abagnale will headline RISMedia’s 22nd Annual Power broker Reception & Dinner on Nov. 3 in Chicago, Ill., sharing how he went from one of the world’s most notorious con men to an international cybersecurity expert, as well as insight and lessons on security. Abagnale, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in Steven Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can,” went from his early years as a check forger and serving time to paying all the money back and eventually using his knowledge to help the FBI catch fraudsters and helping business and government organizations stay a step ahead of cybercriminals.
