This presentation will examine the ways people respond when they become aware they are being social engineered (hear the audio!). It will describe a case study of targeted awareness and prevention training to help staff respond to suspicious calls/emails, communicate with each other and report appropriately.
Participants will learn: – Why it is stressful to be a social engineering target and how social engineers use that to achieve their goals – Approaches to help staff respond well when faced with inappropriate information requests
