People are the primary point of entry for a large proportion of cyberattacks. Real-world examples illustrate why even well-trained, experienced, and intelligent individuals can fall into manipulative traps. The focus is on the dark side of persuasion and on how psychological tricks can be scaled using modern AI tools. The goal is to demonstrate how cybersecurity can be further strengthened by incorporating the human factor.
Jill Wick is a Security Awareness Consultant with a background in business psychology and cybercrime. She combines psychology, technology, and cybersecurity with a focus on the human factor. In her blog, podcast, and training courses, she explains how psychological manipulation works in cyberattacks and how to protect yourself against it.
