While many people may be skeptical of their bank’s digital security these days, financial institutions are still thought of as being physical fortresses that cannot be breached.
However, social engineering combined with the improper implementation of even the best physical security systems can allow threat actors to walk right through the front door of institutions that are supposed to be keeping our money and personal information secure.
In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, host Shaun Walsh is joined by special guest Freaky Clown, a well-known ethical hacker, social engineer, and co-founder of Redacted Firm, who discusses the intersection of physical and digital security.
