TREsPASS Social Engineering Challenge 2015 – Cloud Attack!
Cybercrime is increasing rapidly all around the globe. Methods such as phishing, scamming, and hacking are becoming more sophisticated. At the same time, cloud computing has taken off and much of our data is stored in public and corporate cloud datacenters, dynamically crossing geographic borders, accessible from anywhere. As Social Engineering is a key factor in 92% of industrial espionage attacks, the human factor is attracting increasing media –and attacker– attention. While systematic analysis is still rare, scientists and practitioners from diverse research disciplines are now trying to understand the mechanisms behind social engineering more holistically. The TREsPASS EU project launched a second social engineering challenge in 2015 with a focus on cloud infrastructures, inviting participants to think of creative social engineering scenarios and countermeasures. After selection by a professional jury, the award winning proposal will be announced at the CPDP conference in Brussels, Belgium, on January 29, 2016, and the winner will receive the €750 prize.
