Colony Family Offices, in collaboration with Fidelity Investments, recently hosted a webinar featuring Gary Rossi, Head of Fidelity’s Personal Security Insights Program, who shared practical strategies to help individuals and families better protect themselves from evolving cyber and personal security threats.
- Cyber fraud and personal security risks continue to increase in sophistication, making vigilance and proactive planning essential in today’s environment.
- Individuals and families are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, underscoring the importance of understanding common threats such as phishing, identity theft, and social engineering.
- Implementing strong digital hygiene practices — including multi-factor authentication, secure password management, and device protection — can significantly reduce exposure to cyber risks.
- Personal security extends beyond online activity, requiring awareness of physical security, privacy, and financial safeguards.
- Working with trusted advisors and leveraging available resources can help build a comprehensive, proactive approach to protecting both financial assets and personal well-being.
Gary Rossi brings over 35 years of experience in law enforcement and private-sector security, including 14 years as an FBI Special Agent and leadership roles within Fidelity’s Global Security Group, where he focuses on educating clients about emerging threats and risk mitigation strategies.
