Speaker: Dr. Chris Hazard
Dr. Chris Hazard
Abstract:
Individuals leave a wake of information in their trails and increase the attack surface of an organization via their own psychology. Dr. Hazard will discuss and demonstrate various ways to build and exploit trust, leverage bias and confidence, and exploit psychological tricks and tradecraft knowledge that attackers can use when attempting to gain unauthorized access via social engineering. He will also discuss reasonable steps that organizations can defend against these techniques and insider threats while minimizing paranoia.
