Having taken his education and training in psychology, particularly sales psychology into the field of social engineering, he is now re-writing the social engineering rulebook and chasing out the snake-oil salesmen. Already a successful speaker, Gavin has delivered talks on social engineering worldwide to various audiences. Abstract: "I\'m the Guy your CSO warned you about\' was not your typical social engineering talk. Out went the snake oil sale of analysing the minutia of pop psychology and trying to squeeze out real answers to the questions asked during a real social engineering attack. In came a hard hitting account of a social engineering attack drawn from real sources but anonymised to protect the pwned. Deano, our \'hypothetical\' bad-guy hacked and social engineered his way to cash in his pocket and no cash in your pocket, but the despite the warnings, y\'all didn\'t listen enough. This talk will see our hypothetical bad guy, Deano, up the stakes and deliver the kind of aggressive attack you have all lived in fear of. No longer a phone call to get your credentials, or a rogue e-mail to direct you to a fake website, this time its personal and Deano is looking to do you REAL damage. Still drawing on real data from anonymised sources, from the account given of this attack, attendees of the talk will see that a real social engineer doesn\'t once pick up a psychology textbook. Deano will instead pose you a question - "What if Joe Bloggs on the street had access to the kind of skills and instructions to destroy all my data?". Live in fear of Hactivism? You won\'t sleep at night after meeting Deano this time. If you want an hour of being told that \'looking to the right makes you easier to social engineer\', go to another talk. If you want to see how the real bad guy operates, and talk about how to defend against him, then I look forward to seeing you there." The presenter says... The level of difficulty of this talk is 3 and I consider it is suitable for Any Geek. This is a new talk and it can be filmed and released.
