Excerpt from proposal document
I hope to explore the social (non-technical) aspects of information theft. My resources for this will include Kevin Mitnick’s The Art of Deception and The Art of Intrusion, as well as online resources and other texts regarding social engineering. I will then compose an essay weighing the threat posed by poorly configured technology, software exploits, and hardware failure versus poorly trained personnel, lax security policy, and other social factors that lead to the breakdown of an information system.
