Human hacking

How to prevent and mitigate social engineering attacks

Are you confident in your employees’ ability to withstand social engineering attempts?

What Is social engineering?

The same way cybercriminals use malware to hack your computers, human hacking utilizes social engineering. Social engineering is any manipulation technique used by hackers that exploit human error to gain access to confidential information for use in a cyberattack. These attacks are some of the most difficult to prevent and detect because they target humans, not technology.

The human element is a critical piece of your cybersecurity strategy because it is your employees and staff who could fall victim to a phishing attack and give threat actors full admin-level access to your systems! This is why cybercriminals use social engineering as a first step to enacting their malicious schemes most of the time.

Tune in to learn about:

  • Strategies to mitigate the most common and uncommon social engineering attacks.
  • Proven processes to identify and neutralize phishing attacks.
  • The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the escalating threat of social engineering.
  • How ThreatLocker can protect your organization from the outcome of social engineering attacks.
  • And some of the most commonly asked questions about phishing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many webinars will there be in this series?

There will be 15 webinars over the course of approximately 100 days, each approximately one hour long including an audience Q&A, airing live each Tuesday beginning May 13, 2025 at 8 a.m. PDT/ 11 a.m. EDT / 4 p.m. BST.

Who is this series for?

This series is for IT professionals ready to take control of their environment, whether you've just inherited one, are rebuilding from the ground up, or need to scale and secure what’s already in place.

Do I have to register for all 15 webinars individually?

No – you only have to register once, and we will automatically register you for all future webinars in the series! We’ll email you reminders before each one, and we’ll add them to your calendar via Zoom.

How do I attend the live webinars?

Once you register using the form on this page, you’ll get an email with the Zoom link that we’ll use for the live webinar.

If I miss any of the live webinars, can I watch them later?

Yes! We’ll get the recorded videos of each webinar up and running on this page as soon as possible after the live event.

Is there a cost associated with attending this series?

No, the entire series, including the certification and badge that you earn upon completion, are completely free.

Do I get a badge or certificate once I complete the webinar series?

Yes! You will get a digital certificate of completion as well as a verified Credly badge that you can use on your LinkedIn, website, portfolio and any other accounts.

Why should I attend the live webinars instead of just watching them later?

At the end of each live webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any of our experts questions you may have in a weekly live Q&A – you won’t be able to participate in the pre-recorded version. Also, you will need to attend at least 12 of the 15 live webinars to receive the certificate of completion and verified Credly badge. Watching them later will not count toward your badge and certification.

How will I receive my badge and certificate of completion?

Soon after the end of the 100 days series, you’ll receive an email from Credly with your unique code, badge and link for your socials.

How many live webinars do I have to attend to qualify for the badge and certificate of completion?

You must attend a minimum of 12 live webinars out of the 15 to qualify for the Credly badge and official certificate of completion. However, anyone can watch any of the webinars at any time once they’re posted to the website!
