Webinar - Embedding Security: Preparing for a Social Engineering Assessment (Panel)

Many presentations focus on the surprising results of social engineering assessments from an offensive perspective, but discussions entirely centered around defensive strategies occur less often. This presentation will cover the key steps for preparing for a social engineering assessment, whether contracting a firm or conducting it internally. The discussion will include defining the scope and objectives to ensure a focused assessment, addressing critical legal and ethical considerations to ensure compliance, and preparing your team with essential training to recognize social engineering tactics. The presentation will also emphasize the importance of establishing clear communication protocols for smooth coordination and highlight the need for a response plan to effectively manage any findings and vulnerabilities uncovered during the assessment. Above all, when conducting a social engineering assessment, it is crucial not merely to "teach to the test" but to embed proactive defensive measures into your organization's culture permanently. This approach ensures that security awareness and vigilance become a fundamental part of everyday operations, fostering a resilient and security-conscious environment that goes beyond the assessment period.
