Social engineering is simultaneously an age-old tactic and a constantly evolving threat. Certain modern social engineering techniques could even be deemed the prank calls of the 21st century.
In this podcast, IBM Senior Security Architect and inaugural DerbyCon Social Engineering Capture the Flag (SECTF) winner Joe Gray offers a crash course in social engineering. He describes several different social engineering methods, including phishing and vishing (voice phishing), explains the critical role of open source intelligence (OSINT), and paints a vivid picture of how and why this type of attack can be so devastating to both individuals and organizations.
Listen now to Joe’s terrifying tales from the trenches, and then soothe your nerves with his actionable advice on what companies can do protect themselves, their employees and their assets from the latest social engineering threats.
