Life and career 
Robert Siciliano grew up in and around Boston, Massachusetts. Robert earned his certification in Private Investigations from Boston University, as well as his certificate as a Certified Speaking Professional from the NSA (National Speakers Association). For the last 20+ years, Siciliano has been refining his rhetoric, content, message to carry out his  mission of informing the public on the issues and solutions surrounding security issues.

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.

After the September 11 attacks, Siciliano provided commentary as a news correspondent in regards to many security issues such as school shootings, workplace violence, privacy issues, child abductions, and travel security.

In September 2009, Siciliano conducted an experiment that tested the ease of buying and deploying a retail ATM and as a result raised a few eyebrows in the ATM industry. He was able to purchase an ATM for $750.00 US on Craigslist.org, then program and deploy the retail ATM without any red tape or paperwork registration.

On 15 April 2013, Siciliano ran the 117th edition of the mass-participation Boston Marathon as a charity runner for Boston Children's Hospital. Roberts experience during the bombing was chronicled by the Boston Globe.
