Lunch & Program on Social Engineering: How Hackers Trick People, Not Computers

Thursday, October 9, 2025

11:30 - 1:00 PM

Join SLSAE for lunch with the Maryville University Business Solutions team for a presentation that will explore Social Engineering:  How Hackers Trick People, Not Computers.  

Most cyberattacks don’t start with fancy hacking tools, they start with a simple trick. Social engineering is when attackers use deception, persuasion, or pressure to fool people into giving away information or access.

This presentation will break down common examples, like phishing emails, fake phone calls, and “tailgating” into offices, showing how these tactics work in the real world.

Attendees will learn how to spot the warning signs, protect themselves and their organization, and understand why being cautious is one of the strongest defenses against cybercrime.
