๐Ÿ”— Join us in-person and virtually at our Wild West Hackin' Fest: information security conferences โ€” wildwesthackinfest.com

In social engineering engagements, especially physical, the culture of honor values play a significant role if the participants are in or have a background in a culture of honor. This talk will focus primarily on assertiveness and escalation avoidance.

Todd Wedel has spent most of his career in education with a focus on
studying and teaching how our culture influences us in subconscious ways and how those can be utilized to affect thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. More recently, he works at Director of Communications and Technical Writer at Alias, an Oklahoma-based cybersecurity firm, ensuring clarity and consistency in communication and as the primary report writer and conductor of phishing campaigns.
