Have you ever received a call from someone claiming to be from a bank? Or received an email with a link that you, fortunately, didn't click?
The techniques used by attackers to gain access to your passwords or data are based on social engineering—the science of sophisticated and aggressive manipulation of human behavior. It utilizes a whole arsenal of tools: appealing to pity, using deception or anger, displaying uncharacteristic greed and embarrassing behavior, evoking feelings of guilt or shame, and much more.
Becoming the victim of deception not only puts us at risk but can also seriously let down our colleagues and loved ones.
Christopher Hadnagy, a world-renowned social engineering expert, will teach you how to recognize manipulation of all types and counteract scammers of all stripes. No one will ever be able to force you to do something you didn't intend to do—part with money, reveal important information, or commit dangerous actions. All examples Hadnagy gives are taken from his personal and professional experience.
