Posted in Compliance, Cyber Security, Cybersecurity on March 25, 2016|

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.”
