Social engineering isn’t just about tricking people—it’s about understanding how humans think, behave, and make decisions in the moment. As a professional social engineer, Snow has spent her career breaking into buildings, bypassing security measures, and convincing people into handing over sensitive information. Sometimes, she succeeds. Other times, she gets caught. Either way, every engagement can reveal critical security gaps that organizations overlook.

In this keynote, Snow will take you inside the mind of a social engineer, sharing real-world stories, the tactics that work (and why), and the moments where organizations fought back effectively. We’ll also examine a hard truth: traditional security awareness training is failing us. But this isn’t just about her stories - it’s about your security. Throughout the talk, Snow will leave you with critical questions to take back to your organization.
