Title: Confessions of a Social Engineer: My Dirty Tricks and How To Stop Them
Abstract: You won’t find these attack signatures in any IDS. Firewall rules are useless against me. Social engineers use persuasion, deception, and influence to bypass technical controls by exploiting the human behind them. As a security consultant I’ve utilized social engineering in penetration tests for years. Join me and learn how I’m owning your networks and obtaining your sensitive data.
Bio: Valerie Thomas is an Executive Information Security Consultant for Securicon LLC that specializes in social engineering and physical penetration testing. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Valerie led information security assessments for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) before joining private industry. Her unique Defense and civilian background provides her with a solid understanding of intrusion detection, data loss prevention, and endpoint (in)security. Her electronic and RFID training became a crucial element of her physical security specialization. While some choose to focus on cyber of physical security, she has chosen to exploit the weaknesses of the combination of the two.
Valerie is the coauthor of “Building an Information Security Awareness Program: Defending Against Social Engineering and Technical Threats” with Bill Gardner. Throughout her career, Valerie has conducted penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, compliance audits, and technical security training for executives, developers, and other security professionals. She has provided briefings and workshops for DEFCON, Derbycon, Blackhat, and multiple BSides events.
