#S03EP07 Gamification for Hacking Humans | Jayson E. Street
A "notorious hacker" by FOX25 Boston, "World Class Hacker" by National Geographic Breakthrough Series and described as a "paunchy hacker" by Rolling Stone Magazine. He however prefers if people refer to him simply as a Hacker, Helper & Human.
This is none other than our Guest- Jayson E. Street, Chief Adversarial Officer at Secure Yeti.
In today's highly digitized world, organizations are increasingly susceptible to social engineering attacks, where malicious actors manipulate individuals/employees into divulging confidential information. Despite advanced technical defenses, attackers exploit human psychology to breach security perimeters. Techniques such as phishing emails, pretexting, and baiting continue to trick employees into revealing passwords, granting access to sensitive systems, or clicking on malicious links.
As digital enterprises expand their online footprints, the potential attack surface grows, making it imperative for organizations to adopt robust social engineering defenses. Failure to address this threat can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.
This is a big one and loaded with fun stories by Jayson.
Stay tuned for this next one- the Rapid Fire with Jayson Street.
