Autorenporträt

Frank Riccardi is a cybersecurity and privacy expert passionate about empowering people and companies with the cyber-savvy needed to repel cyberattacks. With twenty-five years of experience in healthcare compliance and privacy, he has led the response to high-profile data breaches and ransomware cyberattacks. He's developed robust compliance programs for various facets of healthcare organizations. Riccardi earned his JD from the Western New England University School of Law and a BS in clinical laboratory sciences from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is certified in healthcare compliance by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB). Grappling with one cyberattack after another has led Riccardi to embark on a new journey and mission: Helping everyday people--whom he affectionately refers to as "non-geeks"-- protect themselves from financially devastating and soul-crushing cyberattacks that can ruin their lives. Riccardi is the author of Mobilizing the C-suite: Waging War Against Cyberattacks, a call to arms for business leaders to take action against cyberattacks by deploying basic cybersecurity controls (Business Expert Press, 2023). He is a sought-after guest on top-rated cybersecurity podcasts and posts frequently on LinkedIn, where he has over 15,000 followers. When he is not preaching the gospel of cyber hygiene, Riccardi indulges in his love for music as an audiophile and a vinyl record hoarder--or, as he prefers to call himself, a hobbyist. He lives with his wife in the charming city of Greensboro, North Carolina.
