Robert Siciliano (born May 25, 1968) is an American television news correspondent, security analyst, author and actor. He delivers presentations throughout the United States and Canada on identity theft protection and personal security, including self-defense. Siciliano's thoughts and advice on all these matters appear often in both the televised and print news media.

A sampling of his work includes appearances on United States-based television programming such as "The Today Show," CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CNBC, "Inside Edition," "Tyra Banks Show," "Sally Jesse Show," "Montel Williams," "Maury Povich Show," "Gayle King Show" and the "Howard Stern Show." In addition, he has been quoted extensively in American news print publications such as USA Today, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, and Entrepreneur. Furthermore, news wire services such as The Associated Press, United Press International, and Reuters frequently turn to him for his views.

[edit] Background

Early Years Robert Siciliano grew up in and around Boston, Massachusetts, learning at an early age that self-defense was key through his experiences of urban crime. He studied several forms of defensive training from different sources, and began his career of helping others improve their personal safety.

1993 As the world grew more technical, a new breed of predators, muggers and thieves went virtual, and attacked their marks anonymously. Siciliano's life and business was again victimized by multiple attackers in the form of criminal hacking and credit card fraud. Personal security now, meant more than physical self defense. This set the tone for the next 15 years.

1996 Drawing on life experience Siciliano wrote his first book on the fundamentals of self defense. The release and publication of "The Safety Minute" attracted numerous media inquiries in all its forms. Talk show host Montel Williams was the first to broadcast Siciliano nationally. Show producers worked with Siciliano to develop scenarios where he would socially engineer his way into resident’s homes in Elizabethtown New Jersey posing as a utility worker. The scam worked 100% of the time proving how vulnerable citizens are to someone conning them with a fake ID, uniform and conjured scenario.

2000 By the turn of the century Siciliano had been invited to offer his expertise on many additional talkshows on such subjects as home invasion prevention, spousal abuse, rape prevention, stalking and non-lethal weaponry.

2001 After the tragedys of September 11, Siciliano was invited to offer commentary as a breaking news correspondent in regards to many security issues with various networks. With no shortage of violence to feed the news media, Siciliano was commenting on school shootings, terrorist hoaxes, workplace violence, privacy issues, child abductions, and travel security.

2002 Studies began to appear regarding the rise in identity theft and computer crimes. Siciliano, a personal security adviser with a penchant for technology began to hear from victims of identity theft requesting assistance in responding to compromised identities. A prior victim himself, he began the quest of educating and informing citizens and businesses on the extent of the crime and predicted an onslaught of identity theft and data breaches in the coming years. As the crime soared, media inquiries poured in.
