The Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series Reducing the Risk of Social Engineering to Exploit IT Help Desk
In this episode, Mike Manrod, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Grand Canyon Education, and Ori Eisen, the Founder and CEO of Trusona, joined me to discuss how best to reduce the risks of social engineering attacks on IT support and help desk personnel. This episode was motivated by the major cyber attack that brought MGM Resorts International's operations to a screeching halt. It was a social engineering attack where the attackers gained super administrator privileges by providing the MGM Help Desk with basic employee information.
