Most people don’t think they’ve been manipulated. Most people think that most other people have been or are being manipulated. See the problem? This “info-tainment” seminar is based on the Smarter Safer Better body of research at ISECOM, a non-profit security research organization, we dive deeply into the minds of the people around us to understand how we think and how manipulation works. And we try it. We try it on ourselves and we try it on each other. We test how others sync to non-verbal cues around us and how they act when there are too many or not enough. Meanwhile in class you are free to test yourself and your limits for resisting manipulation and walk out with the brand new skill of sensing and handling fraud, lies, and manipulation in its many forms.
New research means we’ve re-designed the seminar and materials. Now we’ve got even better solutions, even more examples, and even more exercises. As one of ISECOM’s highest-rated seminars, this will enhance your understanding of trust, security and people in ways you’ve never imagined. And immediately walk out directly applying what you learned.
About the Trainer Pete Herzog is a security professional, neuro-hacker and managing director for the non-profit security research organization, ISECOM. He created the first social engineering methodology for quantifiable testing of human security for OSSTMM 2.1 in 2002. By 2003 he created Trust Metrics for measuring the amount of trust one can put in anything in a quantifiable manner which was added to OSSTMM 3 in 2010. In 2009 Herzog began working with brainwave scanners and tDCS to directly manipulate the brain and understand how people learn and focus attention. In 2013 he released the Security Awareness Learning Tactics (SALT) project to specifically design security awareness based on the neuro research.
