In the business world we often think cybersecurity is just about our technical solutions. The firewall and antivirus software should be enough, right? Not quite.

Bastien Treptel, Co-Founder of CTRL Group, takes us into the hacker mindset to share some of the social engineering techniques his team uses in an ethical breach. He also helps us clarify what social engineering actually entails and shares some insight into how it's changing during a new era of working from home and other COVID-19 consequences.
