What is Social Engineering?
Wikipedia provides the following definition of Social Engineering:
“Social engineering, in the context of information security, refers to psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. A type of confidence trick for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or system access, it differs from a traditional “con” in that it is often one of many steps in a more complex fraud scheme.”
Guest speaker Erich Kron will give the presentation, covering the latest CEO Fraud and Social Engineering and Ransomware attacks and how to counter them effectively.
