SPEAKER: Tales from the Darkside: Robbing Companies from 9 to 5
A Talk by Stephanie Carruthers (Global Social Engineering Lead, IBM's X-Force Red)
About this Talk
For the past seven years, Stephanie has robbed companies of some of their most sensitive data. Through email, over the phone, and by physically breaking in, she has gathered large amounts of proprietary information. Yet, Stephanie has never set foot in jail. This is because she’s a hired robber. Companies engage her to find their security weaknesses before the bad guys do. In this presentation, Stephanie will recount tales of her past exploits, breaking down how these attacks are perpetrated and what makes them successful. After each tale, Stephanie will explain how companies could have stopped her and how you can, too.
