Social Engineering: You have heard the term; do you know the impact?
Social engineering is the art of gaining valuable information from your staff or account holders. It relies on developing an individual's trust or gaining snippets of information from various departments and individuals. We will examine how your call center, frontline and even your loan department are probed or attacked. Anyone responsible for Identity Theft Red Flag Regulations will want to understand how social engineering can defeat them. This enlightening presentation will help you develop the techniques and skills to train your staff in defeating or identifying a social engineering attack.
This webinar will teach you the basics of how your institution can be cased, evaluated and ultimately attacked using basic confidence games known as social engineering.
This information-packed session will review the methods used against your account holders to get them to reveal sensitive information.
