Computer Security And Social Engineering

Host Larry Mantle talks with infamous former computer hacker turned corporate computer security consultant Kevin Mitnick about his new book The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security. Mitnick’s book focuses on a common hacker technique known as “social engineering” in which a cybercriminal deceives an individual into providing key information rather than trying to use technology to reveal that secure information. Mitnick reveals the techniques used by these hackers and provides advice on how to keep computer systems secure.
