How to Mitigate the Rising Cyber Risks of Social Engineering & Personal Devices

4pm - 5:30pm ET | Virtual

Event Overview

The 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report highlighted the steady rise in social engineering attacks that leverage risks associated with the human factor. Attackers seek to exploit our human nature and our willingness to trust and be helpful for their own gain.

Employees can inadvertently provide entry points into enterprise networks through acts as simple as responding to an inquiry on social media or clicking on a link in an apparently urgent text message.

These risks are only heightened when employees are using their personal devices, which often lack security software that can thwart potential attacks.

How can you get a better handle on socially-engineered attacks and the presence of personal devices in the workplace? How can you enhance your own omnichannel cybersecurity?

Join us in this roundtable discussion, and become better educated through peer discussion about:

The Human Risk Factor – how to respond to social engineering attacks that are increasingly hard to detect

The Problem with Personal Devices – how to secure what you don’t control.

Plug the Gaps – how to address these risks through advanced threat detection software.
