While IT and security technology continue to evolve, most security experts – and most attackers – agree that people are the weakest link in any information system. How do today’s attackers fool users into giving up their credentials or downloading malicious code? What are the latest methods in this “social engineering,” and what types of attacks are you likely to experience in your organization? And most importantly, what can your enterprise do to prevent these social engineering attacks? In this session, top experts will discuss the latest social engineering exploits, and offer some advice on how you can mitigate them.
