Session
Ever wonder what it's like to outsmart the smartest? Join me, as we dive deep into the art of "Hacking the Human: Zero Trust & Breaches." We’ll explore the vulnerabilities that hackers love to exploit—human trust. Social engineering isn't just a buzzword; it's the most effective tool in a hacker's arsenal, and I'll show you exactly how it's done.
In this session, we'll break down real-world examples of how I and others have bypassed some of the most secure systems by targeting the weakest link: people. I’ll also share how zero trust can be a game-changer in securing organizations, ensuring that no one—even the most trusted employees—gets a free pass.
This isn't your typical cybersecurity talk. Expect stories, live demonstrations, and a no-nonsense approach to understanding and defending against the threats lurking in organizations. If you think your firewall is enough, think again. Let’s dig into the human factor and turn the weakest link into the strongest defense.
