As computer security is becoming more sophisticated, attackers are combining their technical expertise with social engineering techniques to gain access to sensitive information or valuable resources within organisations.
Although people have become more familiar with the term "social engineering" in recent years, this doesn't unfortunately mean that there are fewer successful social engineering attacks.
In fact, the use of deception or impersonation to gain unauthorised access to sensitive information or facilities is increasing.
Over the coming summer months we will be presenting at various conferences on this very topical subject, speaking from experience and dispelling the myths. Catch up with us at Defcon in Vegas or keep an eye on our latest news and come along to one of the European events we are attending.
