About this webinar:
No matter how much security technology we purchase, we still face a fundamental security problem: people. Often referred to as the security weak link, this webinar will explore the different levers that social engineers and scam artists pull to make us more likely to do their bidding. Join Computing’s Tom Allen and Javvad Malik, Security Awareness Advocate for KnowBe4, as they discuss the psychology behind social engineering. We’ll look at several engaging examples of mental manipulation in everyday life, and details of sophisticated social engineering and online scams.
Key Takeaways:
- The perception vs. reality dilemma
- Understanding the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) Loop
- How social engineers and scam artists achieve their goals by subverting OODA Loop's different components
- How we can defend ourselves and our organisations
