No matter how much security technology we purchase, we still face a fundamental security problem: people. This webinar will explore the different levers that social engineers and scam artists pull to make us more likely to do their bidding.

Additionally, we'll look at how to ethically use the very same levers when educating our users.
Key Takeaways:
