January 08, 2007Defending Layer 8: How to recognize and combat social engineeringI have always loved Steve Riley presentations. During Tech Ed IT Forum Microsoft filmed a variety of sessions which are relevant to Security. One that I really liked was Steve's presentation on "Defending Layer 8: How to recognize and combat social engineering". Here is an abstract of the presentation: The human element is often ignored in security. Organizations will spend fortunes on technology and are still vulnerable to old-fashioned manipulation! Steve Riley takes you through the issues that are present when people, computers and networks meet. In an example-filled session we delve into the depths of user psychology and how it's at layer 8 where all security succeeds or fails. It runs just over an hour... but is well worth the time investment for such a great presentation. Enjoy! Posted by SilverStr at January 8, 2007 09:51 AM | TrackBackComments
