Cybersecurity Awareness

In this video module, Kevin Mitnick (world-renowned security consultant, public speaker, and author) and Rachel Tobac (social engineer and the CEO / Co-founder of SocialProof Security) roleplay a social engineering attack using pretexting. Pretexting is a form of social engineering where the attacker lies to obtain restricted information. Rachel demonstrates and explains how an attacker can gain information about your organization’s defenses by pretending to be a member of the tech support team and how this can lead to your organization’s network being compromised.

This module then describes what a user can look for to help them determine if a URL has been edited, providing best practices and tips they can follow to help keep their organization and themselves safe.
