Edmonton Chapter: Scattered Spider Changed the Game - Now its time for CIOs to implement a bug catcher

Description

The hacker group Scattered Spider has changed the game by bypassing traditional defenses and targeting corporate help desks as their entry point. Using phone-based social engineering, they impersonated employees to reset credentials and gain privileged access, a tactic that blindsided many enterprises. 

As CIOs you have the ability to turn the help desk from a liability into a resilience asset, using mostly tools you already own.

For CIOs, this means reducing risk exposure, strengthening compliance posture, and safeguarding both customers and employees.

In this session we will discuss:

•    Leveraging technology business rules to enforce caller verification

•    Alerting on attempted impersonation attacks to the help desk

•    Protecting against video call  and voice impersonation
