We spent some time with Rachel Tobac discussing techniques, awareness and training for organizations seeking to limit the risk from one of the most difficult security threats to counter - social engineering attacks - check it out...
Rachel Tobac is a social engineer and the CEO / Co-founder of SocialProof Security - they hack companies via their people and then train those companies on social engineering so they can limit their risk.
In her spare time, Rachel is the Chair of the Board for the nonprofit Women in Security and Privacy (WISP), which works to advance women in those fields. Before Rachel was a hacker, she studied Neuroscience and Behaviorism in college, was a special needs educator for years, and a UX Researcher.
