Social-Engineer @ RSA 2015

By April 16, 2015No Comments

Remember the days when RSA was an intimate little show with a few thousand visitors?  Neither do we!  Next week marks the start of RSA 2015, and the largest information security conference in the US will descend on San Francisco. Somewhere in the midst of 25,000 or so expected attendees will be the Social-Engineer team, so we wanted to make sure you know what we’re up to throughout the conference!

RSA Conf-1

RSA boasts not one, but two giant expo halls full of exhibitors. We anticipate you’ll experience an overwhelming number of booths filled with security buzzwords such as “threat intelligence,” “threat protection,” and “cloud security.” While the security products are a great part of RSA, we’d like to see attendees focus more on security services and the role of the human element in security and incident response. Remember, technical control and policies are only part of the solution. If you’re interested in building a security program that combats malicious phishing emails or generates user awareness, we certainly hope you’ll check out Michele’s presentation: Phishing Dark Waters: The Malicious Side of Emails. Also, if you’re interested in setting up a private meeting to discuss security matters, shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Finally, the Human Hacker himself, fresh from a top-secret training, will make an appearance on Thursday for a book signing you won’t want to miss! Following is a who, what, when, and where of Social-Engineer at RSA next week. Will you be attending the conference? We hope to see you there!

Vishing and Phishing Must Be Ongoing to Be Effective
Most companies have a security awareness program in one form or another. If they don’t, it should be on the short list of programs to start as soon as possible. In our experience, many of these programs take the form of computer-based training.

A Case Study in Vishing
Vishing (voice-based phishing) has been a problem for quite a long time. There are many vendors in the marketplace that offer vishing services. However they tend to use robo-callers or call centers for large volume engagements. If they are using trained humans to make calls, it is likely in very low numbers.

Benefits of a Social-Engineering Risk Assessment Engagement
Your company is important. Indeed, the data you hold for your clients or employees is very valuable and attackers seek to capitalize on that data any way they can. This is where a Social Engineering Risk Assessment (SERA) engagement can help uncover possible vulnerability to attackers.

The Business Value of the Social-Engineer Phishing Service
Cybercriminals are targeting the human element of organizations. Additionally, they are developing techniques to use an organization’s employees as the first point of entry. According to the 2021 Verizon DBIR report, of the 3,841 security breaches reported using social engineering, phishing was the key vector for over 80% of them.
