On the 29th of February 2016, 10:00-15:30, Royal Danish Defence College will co-host an international workshop on Social Engineering and cyber-attack.
February 11, 2016 - 13:30
[Originally published by Royal Danish Defence College]
The advent of Social Networks has made both companies and public bodies tremendously exposed to the new and dangerous type of cyber-attack called Social Engineering.
Latest insights into security breaches reveal that about 90% of the security incidents include the human element as a major component of their attacks, thus belonging to the area of Social Engineering. Even large companies which have heavily invested in security and often operate worldwide have experienced attacks that exploit the human element of (in)security.
A number of leading security researchers and organizations have just completed a business-oriented research in Social Engineering. The research has led to the thought-provoking results presented at an international workshop on 29 February.
Based on this new research, the conference will expose the magnitude of the vulnerability of the still rising social engineering, and thus increase the awareness of international businesses and public authorities. In conclusion, the conference will provide important recommendations on how to protect business and public authorities against the threat of Social Engineering.
