Information security is about people, yet in most organizations
protection remains focused on technical countermeasures. The human
element is crucial in the majority of successful attacks on systems
and attackers are rarely required to find technical
vulnerabilities, hacking the human is usually sufficient. Ian Mann
turns the black art of social engineering into an information
security risk that can be understood, measured and managed
effectively. The text highlights the main sources of risk from
social engineering and draws on psychological models to explain the
basis for human vulnerabilities. Chapters on vulnerability mapping,
developing a range of protection systems and awareness training
provide a practical and authoritative guide to the risks and
countermeasures that are available. There is a singular lack of
useful information for security and IT professionals regarding the
human vulnerabilities that social engineering attacks tend to
exploit. Ian Mann provides a rich mix of examples, applied research
and practical solutions that will enable you to assess the level of
risk in your organization; measure the strength of your current
security and enhance your training and systemic countermeasures
accordingly. If you are responsible for physical or information
security or the protection of your business and employees from
significant risk, then Hacking the Human is a must-read.
