Jayson is the author of “Dissecting the hack: The F0rb1dd3n Network” and is the creator of the website, Dissecting the Hack. He has spoken at DEFCON, DerbyCon, UCON and at numerous other conferences and colleges on a variety of Information Security subjects. The security industry has undergone some radical changes due to the pandemic with conferences being put on the side line and disrupting workflows. But COVID-19 has also had a serious impact on how threat actors adapt their social engineering practices. What new methods are they employing and how can organizations better prepare themselves?
