The weakest link is always the user. And it's not only your "standard" user, but also IT staff. By better understanding the art of social engineering, you'll get a better understanding of the types of attacks and methods attackers are using to gain access to your network or worse yet, hold your data for a ransom. This session will cover the four primary emotions attackers use to gain users' trust, which eventually leads to the attacker gaining access to your resources.

You will learn:

  • Why social engineering works
  • About the various methods that attackers are using to social engineer your users
  • How to protect yourself and teach your users to protect themselves from this attack vector
