Toby Foster was one of the U21 candidates for the DeepSec 2011 conference, so here is his first conference presentation:
"Toby Foster is a 20 year old student in his final year at the University of York studying Computer Science. He is also an intern at First Defence Information Security. He has a passion for Social Engineering and Penetration Testing. This will be his first conference presentation!
Social Engineering threatens many businesses around the world and it seems that the best solution to date is employee training. This doesn't stop the attacks; it just makes it harder for the attacker. My final year project at university is to model social engineering attacks and then draw upon computer security principles to determine a solution to the problem.
The ultimate objective is to find a single (or at least a small number) of solutions that solve all (or the vast majority) of social engineering attacks. If the project is successful it could revolutionise how we defend against social engineering attacks."
