Double Feature: Social Engineering – a Rising Threat

The motto for this year’s cybersecurity awareness Month was “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.” A good advice, since social engineering is still the No.1 attack vector in cybersecurity. We asked two experts to explain how much of a problem social engineering really is, how criminals exploit this and how to prevent against social engineering attacks.

In our first video, Lance Spitzner, Director at SANS Institute, discusses social engineering with our editor Patrick Boch.

In our second video of this double feature, Jelle Wieringa, Security Advocate at KnowBe4, talks about social engineering and what companies and individuals can do to prevent being attacked.
