  • Sex Trafficking and Murder on the Road with Frank Figliuzzi
    2024/05/29
    It sounds like an episode straight out of Criminal Minds. The FBI’s Highway Serial Killers initiative hunts for long-haul truckers behind at least 850 murders of mostly female sex trafficking victims along our nation’s highways. Today’s guest is Frank Figliuzzi. Frank was the FBI’s Assistant Director over Counterintelligence. He served 25 years as an FBI Special Agent in assignments across the country. As the head of all espionage investigations, Frank frequently briefed the White House, the DNI, and the Attorney General. For the past seven years, Frank has been a national security analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. He’s the author of a national bestseller, The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence, and now Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers. Show Notes: [1:30] - Frank shares his background and what his role was in the FBI for 25 years.[3:52] - His most recent book is Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers and is about the FBI’s Highway Serial Killers initiative.[5:57] - These cases go back several decades and remain unsolved.[7:13] - Trucking is a crucial part of our society, but there are different types of truckers and some are more likely to commit crime.[9:12] - The success of the initiative really relies on local police departments.[11:13] - Frank describes some of the things he learned from experts in street-level human trafficking.[14:27] - Frank gives examples of some of the things he did for research.[15:53] - The type of trucker that Frank is most concerned about are the ones with very little interaction with other people.[17:21] - There is more security and tracking of truckers in more corporate organizations.[18:44] - The corporate job is less attractive to someone who is motivated to commit crime.[20:03] - Frank was amazed at how high tech trucking is these days and the brains needed to understand it all.[23:03] - Frank describes his experience as he shadowed a trucker and immersed himself in the lifestyle.[26:43] - The number one profession for serial killers is a trucker.

    2024/05/15

    Many years ago, people chose to stay with the same employer for decades. Today, employees are changing jobs more regularly. Each company needs to have processes in place allowing access to systems needed to do their jobs, but there’s also a risk of when they leave that they may still have access to certain programs.

As the CISO and the Executive Director of Gathid Ltd., he is passionate about helping organizations strengthen access management without completely overhauling their people, processes, physical infrastructure, and technology.
