There are new threats arising everyday. The problem is there has been a vulnerability in the system that has not been patched since the first computer was created Humans! As the network perimeter hardens and the controls on the desktop tightens. Hackers are going back to the basics and getting through the firewall by going through the front door. They are bypassing the IPS and IDS simply by bypassing the receptionist. We look at this topic with a different viewpoint. We look at the history as well as the culture and keep it offbeat with showing how 1st century strategies can still be used to break into 21st century networks.
