Gavin will show how social engineering lessons can be learned from one of the oldest, most durable professions: the salesman. He will discuss some models taken from psychology and applied to sales, and now applied directly to social engineering. He will illustrate the increasing risk of social engineering to organisations, as we train more and more social engineering 'experts'. Gavin will show how a process that is used every day by organisations, big and small, can be tweaked and applied to protect you, your employees, and your customers' data. You will be left with plenty of food for thought from a multi-award winning salesman turned ethical hacker. You will have categorised yourself according to one of his key 'people types' and identified which social engineering approach would be most effective against you. You will also be able to start looking for those same signals in others. You will understand the level of risk from social engineering attacks in the real world, but also be able to take some comfort from knowing that the very skill set that makes social engineering possible is also the same skill set that will make them easier to defend against.

In these days of mountains of data and associated security technologies, it is easy to get bogged down and enter reactive mode.

We are overwhelmed with the myriad of threats to the enterprise at present, asking if the Cloud is secure, or if your supplier is secure, even debating whether BYOD is secure; but the real question is if the future of this industry is merely being secure? To answer this question, Des will take you on a journey from the Knights Templar, through Jeremy Clarkson and beyond to the limits of the digital frontier to determine how to evolve to manage the challenges of the information society.
