Description
Social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information for fraudulent purposes. It has been around for a long, long time and comes in many forms. In 2020, we saw (no surprise) a renewed interest of fraudsters using this old stand-by to commit fraud and steal identities, and in 2021 an uptick in methods to trick consumers into revealing sensitive data.
Everyone who works with consumers, from call centers to frontline staff, customer service to product development, has the ability to help detect and mitigate social engineering fraud – if you know what to look for!
The root cause of success is people. Your employees shouldn’t be part of the problem: They can be the solution!
*Course prerequisite encouraged: understand the organization’s current security structure, especially existing employee education, security protocols when handling or providing consumer-level data, etc.
Learning Objectives:
Using actual cases and recordings of social engineering, attendees will:
• Evaluate current methods used to compromise data.
• Document common practices of bad actors to collect PII, including account credentials.
• Recognize common red flags of an attempt.
• Define an action plan to increase internal security awareness.
• Record tips and resources to reduce exposure.
