Concerns over the action are sending VPN sales soaring, some vendors say.
The Trump administration’s move to repeal a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule that would have prevented ISPs from selling customer data to third parties has widespread security implications for users and organizations, industry experts warned this week.
The Obama-era FCC rule was to have gone into effect later this year. It would have prevented Internet service providers from collecting and selling data such as a customer’s Web browsing history, location data, and other data related to the user’s online activities without explicit permission.
The White House, FCC chairman Ajit Pai, and others wanted the bill repealed on the grounds that it unfairly favored one set of companies on the Internet over another. The main argument was that the bill would have restricted carriers including AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from collecting and selling data on a user’s online activities, even as Internet giants such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter were free to do so.

Breakfast Meeting and Presentation
Wednesday, 04/20/2016 8:00 am – 10:30 am
Summary
Learn how the psychology of persuasion (POP) is leveraged for good and evil to create moments of mitigation or misery (MOM) in security.
Significant improvements in security technology have made it difficult for cybercriminals to steal sensitive data by solely penetrating computer systems. Social engineering relies on momentary weaknesses in people, and it’s easier to deceive someone than it is to hack into systems. Protecting your company from social engineering attacks requires fluency with ever increasing sophisticated social engineering techniques.
“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.”
Sun Tzu
Speaker: Michael Fizz
Empowered with the principles of persuasion, white hats can help everyone in an organization create innumerable moments of mitigation (MOM). More importantly, fluency with the use of principals of persuasion utilized by black hats will empower you to stay ahead of their nefarious intent.
Questions we will answer:
- What are the six principals of persuasion utilized for good and evil in social engineering?
- What are your organization’s Moments of Truth (MOT) that result in mitigation and maintained security or breach?
- How do you leverage MOM and POP to influence and empower ALL members of your organization and significantly mitigate attacks and reduce risk?
