Ep. 090 - Pro-tips on becoming a professional social engineer

The single most asked question is “What do I need to do to be a professional social engineer?” This month is devoted to talking to our team.  Folks who had almost no SE experience before working with SECOM and now lead the market in all things SE.

Enjoy our new format while we talk about these topics:

• Why is vishing so hard?
• How can you become a master phisherman?
• Pro-tips on SE Red Teaming?
• The team’s favorite books?
• What Laurie would sound like if she was a 12 year boy?
• Why does Kaz not understand Twitter?
• So much more….

While the SE Team was together for the Podcast, Amy Herman facilitated a workshop for them on improving both observational skills and effective communication through the medium of art. She shared her insights on perception and observation during SEPodcast 83.
