The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians cordially invites you to attend a CME presentation titled, “Recognizing and Preventing Social Engineering in Health Care.”
Learning Objectives
- Identify the most common types of social engineering attacks targeting health care organizations, including phishing, smishing, vishing, quishing and business email compromise.
- Recognize key psychological manipulation tactics used by attackers – such as urgency, authority, fear and appeals to helpfulness – and how these appear in real-world health care scenarios.
- Apply practical strategies such as the SLAM method (Sender, Links, Attachments, Message) and verification procedures to evaluate suspicious communications and prevent successful attacks.
- Describe appropriate response steps when a potential social engineering attempt is detected, including reporting, verification through official channels and promoting a no-blame security culture within the practice.
