Social engineering attacks, such as phishing, vishing, and scareware, exploit human vulnerabilities to bypass security measures and gain access to organizations’ sensitive data or systems. It has become increasingly common, and organizations in Asia are particularly vulnerable to these attacks due to the region’s fast-growing economies and increasing reliance on technology.

The recent phishing attack happened to Singapore’s largest healthcare provider, SingHealth, in 2018. Using spear-phishing emails, the attackers got employees to download malware to their network, resulting in the theft of personal data belonging to 1.5 million patients.

Finn Jensen, the CEO of FastPassCorp, will sit down with us to share his insights and experience in dealing with social engineering attacks and explore the most effective strategies for preventing social engineering attacks and protecting sensitive information.
