Presented by Michael Manrod • Chief Information Security Officer, Grand Canyon Education
In recent years, we have seen our world reshaped dramatically as technology has worked its way deeper into our daily lives. As mobility and social platforms reshape how we interact, the speed of information has accelerated, all while the overall trustworthiness of information has deteriorated. In this talk, we will examine human processing flaws that can be exploited via disinformation campaigns (Mental Malware), along with ways such campaigns may be interrupted.
