This live demo is one of Tobac’s most sought-after events. YOU pick a team member—ideally someone with a social media presence and a sense of humor! SHE will hack them LIVE—in-person or virtually—but with zero real-world consequences or harm to their social identity or your organization’s cyber security. As she hacks them, Tobac explains, step by step, what a real hacker would do, how they would do it and why you would be unlikely to see it coming. As the audience, you and your team get a chance to step into the shoes of a hacker and see spear phishing and other trending hacker techniques in action (but in a safe and controlled environment). It’s a fun and powerful way to make everyone on your team aware of the importance of cyber security while highlighting both the risks we face and the responsibilities we all have as individuals and organizations in the digital realm.
