The 2020 Expert Webinar Series

The most significant security threat to businesses is far from being the exotic, technologically advanced attack vector so favored by Hollywood screenwriters and Sci-Fi novelists. These threats, often described as using highly competent code and advanced-scripting, may be more entertaining to watch or read about, but they aren’t the threat that’s been used to hack the Democratic National Committee, shut down industrial and manufacturing plants, or even breach the best-known symbol of American power – the White House.

The terrifying threat that actually has done these things all while costing U.S. businesses and organizations hundreds of millions of dollars each day is plain ole’, run-of-the-mill phishing.

In this session we’ll explain what phishing is, why it’s the most effective (and proliferated) of many techniques collectively classified as Social Engineering and how it is used by attackers to obtain either full or partial credentials (e.g. username & password).
