Social engineering will be a cybersecurity threat as long as we have people (as opposed to Skynet) making decisions. The human, as opposed to the machine, is the preferred platform for the social engineer to conduct their nefarious plans to derail your business. Come learn how to spot the signal flags of the social engineer, train yourself how to not get railroaded into a breach and put the brakes on confusion and delay.
