INTERFACE Portland
Moderated by INTERFACE Advisory Council
Social engineering has been around longer than we've had computers and continues to represent a significant risk to companies in the US and around the world. Whether it's a phishing attack, opening a malicious attachment, seeing a stranger show up where he or she shouldn't be or logging on to the company network from a coffee shop it all comes down to people. It's important to make use of training and other tools to reduce the risk of such attacks. Many security incidents and breaches that occur are not the result of not rolling out the right software or installing strong locks on the doors. They result from well-meaning people who just aren't paying attention to social engineering risks. This session provides participants with tools they can use in their companies to protect confidential and non-public data as technologies and training that will, if understood and used properly, reduce risks significantly.
