In this episode of the Cyber Rants Podcast, we sit down with Chris Hadnagy, a prominent speaker at RSA, Black Hat, and DefCon's SE Capture the Flag events. Chris is the author of four influential books, including "Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking" and "Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You." He is also the founder of the Innocent Lives Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the sexual abuse of children, and the CEO of Social-Engineer, LLC.
Join us as we delve into Chris's extensive background in social engineering across corporate, government, and military sectors. Learn why social engineering is so effective and the kind of damage it can cause, along with the most common and sophisticated techniques used by cybercriminals today. Chris also shares the best strategies for protecting companies from malicious social engineering and discusses innovative personal security tips, such as human-based MFA and unique code words for family safety.
