Threats Overview
Social Engineering
• Manipulation of people into divulging
confidential or sensitive information
• Most commonly done over email, but
also regularly carried out over the phone
Social Engineering
• Can be a slow gain of information
• Can attempt to gain all information
needed at once
Social Engineering
• Phone call targets employees at
a business.
• Caller asks who the boss/CEO is.
• Requests his/her email address.
• Now the attacker has the username
and the name of the person targeted for
compromise.
Social Engineering Examples
• A person walks into office
pretending to be a contractor.
• Due to his/her uniform, people
assume it’s OK.
• Person walks into room with
sensitive info and steals it.
Social Engineering Examples
Top Tips to Avoid Social Engineering
Be careful with the information
you disclose.
Verify credentials of contractors.
If you have any doubts on the
identity of callers, hang up and
call their official company
number back.

PASSWORD SAFETY
• What city did you grow up in?
• What is your dog’s name?
• What high school did you attend?
• What is your favorite book?
• What is your dream job?
• What is your mother’s maiden name?
Can these answers be found on your Facebook account?
Does this look
familiar?
How about this?
• Typically, users are honest when filling out
security questions.
• Malicious parties can utilize social media to
find out the answers to these questions,
which allows them to reset your password.
• Best practice is to not be honest when filling
out these questions. Treat security questions
as another password field.
Security Questions
• Typically, users practice risky behavior
with respect to passwords.
• Passwords nowadays can be a gateway
into identity theft.

• Passwords sometimes are extracted
• Very simple to try all alternative
options of password-base
Data breaches lead to password problems because…
Example
• Password that was stolen was elephant
• Password required by website is 8 characters 1 symbol
• 32 symbols on the computer(would take a human 5 minutes)
• Computers can carry out these tasks in fractions of a second
• If you have trouble remembering passwords
or creating unique passwords, utilize
a password manager.
• There are several very secure password managers
on the market that work across all Oses.
• They will remember and auto-complete your
passwords for you once your “master” password
is entered.
Password Managers
https://haveibeenpwned.com/
• Currently checks 210 websites
• 2.6 billion compromised accounts contained
• Treat it like a credit-check
Password Hygiene Checkup
• As opposed to the standard password
authentication, 2FA OTP (one-time
password) uses two elements. These are
“something that user knows,” such as a
password or a PIN code, and “something
that user has,” typically a mobile phone or
hardware token.
• Used in combination, they provide greatly
enhanced security for data access.
Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Explained
• Data breach through weak or stolen passwords
• User-created passwords that are not random
characters
• Re-use of passwords intended for access to
company assets for private accounts
• Passwords containing user-specific data – e.g.
name, date of birth
• Simple patterns to derive new passwords, such as
“elephant1,” “elephant2,” etc.
2FA solves the problem of:
Top Tips for Password Safety
Utilize unique passwords across
all websites/applications
Enable and utilize 2FA on
all websites that allow it
Choose unique, non-true

  2. Does this screen or others like this look familiar?
  3. How about this? This is extremely important in the conversation around passwords due to the fact that most passwords can be simply changed or reset by knowing a few answers to questions about yourself. Most of these answers can be commonly found on users’ social media accounts. So it is very important to not just practice good password policies but also strong security questions as well.
  4. So typically due to the complexity requirements of passwords usually users end up writing their passwords on sticky notes or in documents on their desktop.
  5. Others freely share their passwords with other users. We see this especially in organizations that require users to clock in at the beginning and end of the day. They do not want to be late again so they call their friend who is already at work and ask them to clock in for them.
  6. Current password policies that are often used today are not adequate at protecting users. As you can see this is what a typical user does. If a password requires 8 characters they might choose something like elephant. But if they go to another application or website and now it requires a number, they are not going to think of a brand new unique password, they are just going to tack on a 1 at the end. This continues when websites require a symbol, or capital. Users are re-using the exact same password base, which is Elephant.
  7. This leads to current password policies that typically have users change their password every 90 days or every 6 months. Users are not increasing your businesses security by changing their password on these scheduled intervals due to them doing the above. They are simply going to the next number and next symbol on the keyboard. In fact now NIST is recommending against having users change passwords every 90 days due to the above.
  8. So when data breaches occur passwords are sometimes extracted, it would be very easy for me to go to another website and figure out what your password is. For example if the password that was stolen was elephant, and I went to a website that required 8 characters and 1 symbol. There are only 32 symbols on the keyboard, therefore I only need to type in elephant and then try every symbol and see if I gain access into whatever system I am trying to break into.
  9. So a great resource to inform your users about is this website. which will check all of the databases of compromised credentials to see if your credentials are any of the ones that have been stolen. You can enter in your commonly used usernames or email address and it will let you know if there has been a breach and what was breached. If your password was stolen it is recommended to completely change your password, don’t just change the number or symbol!
  10. So Two-Factor is a solution that can prevent poor password policies, and ultimately turns the login process into requiring a User, Password, and a One time password. This one time password typically comes from a mobile device or hard token. So it turns the password authentication into something that the user knows (such as a password) and something they have (a cell phone). If you do not have both pieces of information you are unable to log in.
