Specializing Course - Workshop OSINT & Social Engineering | CYBERSECURITY & CLOUD duration Weekend
Open Source INTelligence, a discipline strictly connected to the world of Cyber Intelligence, is the collection of news that must be transformed into "knowledge" through phases of validation, confirmation and certain attribution of the so-called source of diffusion. Social engineering, on the other hand, is identified as the study of a person's individual behavior in order to grasp useful information. Basically, social engineering brings together a series of techniques aimed at inducing people to provide personal information such as passwords or banking details, or to allow access to a computer in order to secretly install malicious software.
Thanks to this workshop, you will learn the techniques to carry out surveys on the web while keeping yourself invisible, and you will acquire the necessary skills to operate as an OTC (Office Technical Consultant) and PTC (Partial Technical Consultant).
