Firebrand Training

In October, EC-Council’s Hacker Halted came to Europe for the first time. Firebrand attended the conference in Reykjavik, Iceland and interviewed industry experts about the hottest topics in cyber security.
In this video Jennifer Lesser, Facebook’s Director of Security Operations talks about her keynote presentation on “Winning the Security Awareness Game”.
Ms Lesser spoke about how Facebook turned its internal security awareness campaign into a game that engaged every employee in the organisation. She explained that Facebook wanted to create a program that fit into its organisational culture. So they decided to launch “Hacktober”, a full month of hacking, when employees are encouraged to hack and protect themselves from being hacked.
During “Hacktober” Facebook simulates a series of attacks on its system, which include malicious emails, breaching the company’s physical perimeter, phishing and more. To find out more about how Facebook turned security awareness into a company-wide game, watch the full interview.
