The Human Factor Reloaded: Social Engineering and Insider Risk (Webinar Replay)

In this session, our experts examine how social engineering techniques and insider risks are evolving.

Reducing risk where technology meets people

Despite organizations' continuous investment in security tools, social engineering still remains one of the most effective attack techniques. Phishing, impersonation, and abuse of trust are becoming more persistent, more targeted, and harder to detect—while insiders, former employees, and everyday behaviors can unintentionally increase exposure.

From MFA fatigue to highly tailored phishing attempts and voice‑based impersonation, attackers are refining their tactics to exploit people rather than systems. At the same time, gaps in employee offboarding, workforce changes, and public exposure on social platforms are creating new insider‑driven risks organizations must address.

Topics covered include:

How social engineering is evolving beyond generic phishing
Why targeted phishing is becoming more effective against specific roles
Where defenses still struggle despite MFA and awareness programs
How insider risk emerges through poor offboarding and disengaged employees
