Social engineering is a theme that KnowBe4 has been pursuing for over 13 years since its founding. This seminar will focus on social
engineering and its countermeasures, with Hideko Igarashi, a former United Nations cybersecurity administrator who has long studied the late Kevin Mitnick, known as the legendary hacker and chief hacking officer of KnowBe4. In addition to welcoming as the keynote speaker, Tsutomu Hirose from KnowBe4 Japan, who has been appointed as a new KnowBe4 evangelist, will give a lecture on the growing threat of social engineering, with the theme “The dangers of social engineering attacks and what are the countermeasures?” . In addition, we will deliver practical information on social engineering countermeasures through user lectures from two companies, Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd. and Japan Marine United Co., Ltd., as examples of the use of “KnowBe4.”
Since the beginning of the year, KnowBe4 has further strengthened its partner-led marketing activities around the world. This joint seminar with Toyo Technica is one such initiative.
