Start your morning with good food and great conversation from security expert Ira Winkler and Ed Freels, Chief Information Officer for WilcoHess. As a special bonus for the super early birds, the first 50 people to the session will receive a free copy of Ira’s book “Spies Among Us”.

Ensuring your company is PCI-DSS Compliant is not only important legally, but it is the most responsible thing you can do to guarantee your financial viability. But, there are vulnerabilities that you may not realize that could be targeted by hackers. The term Social Engineering has recently been listed as the most common threat to business and while people most commonly use the term to describe non-technical ways to circumvent computer security, Ira Winkler believes that Social Engineering is used much more widely than that, costing businesses even more than what they believe.  Ira Winkler received training in Human Elicitation from the Intelligence Community, and looks at Social Engineering as a science, vice an art as portrayed by computer hackers.  This is an extreme difference in that if Social Engineering is a science, it can be prevented despite the supposed “expertise” of the perpetrators; whether they are supposed world class hackers or foreign intelligence operatives.

Ira Winkler uses his own cases of Social Engineering and Human Intelligence collection to show how he took over banks and compromised some of the largest companies in the world.  He then goes on to discuss how to protect your business from social engineering, not just your computers.

Your company cannot afford to be attacked. Learn how you can help thwart those efforts.
