Gender Differences in Social Engineering: Does Sex Matter?

DerbyCon 4.0 - Family Rootz

Presented by: Shannon Sistrunk, Will Tarkington
Date: Sunday September 28, 2014
Time: 10:00 - 10:25
Location: Stable Talks

When it comes to Social Engineering does one gender have an advantage over another? Should some approaches only be done by a Female and some only be done by a male? When nonverbal expressions and micro-expressions are universal and can be read by anyone trained can either gender social engineer a situation regardless of the target and the environment? In this talk we will look at the science- the anecdotal evidence and have some audience participation to test out the idea does gender really matter in Social Engineering.
