Rachel Tobac: Exploiting the Trust - The Human Element of Security

It only takes 1 email, a 30 second call, or 1 social media DM for her to hack you and gain access to your money, data, and systems. Meet Rachel Tobac, who executes these social engineering attacks for a living and uses her real-life ethical hacking stories to keep organizations up to date on the methods criminals are using to trick people. She broke down recent cyber attacks in the news, and how to defend against the latest hacking methods, even when criminals are using AI. Her tales from the field and live hacking demonstrations throughout the presentation kept everyone "politely paranoid" to catch the next human hacker in the act.

This Big Ten Academic Alliance event was not recorded. You can find awareness and training videos featuring Rachel Tobac on her company's website at Awareness and Training videos (socialproofsecurity.com). In addition, there are many videos on YouTube of her speaking and giving hacking demonstrations.
