Christopher Hadnagy Biography

Christopher Hadnagy is a global security expert, master hacker and the founder and CEO of Social-Engineer, LLC. He specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit human communication and trust to obtain access to information and resources through manipulation and deceit. His goal is to secure companies by educating them on the methods used by attackers, identifying vulnerabilities, and mitigating issues through appropriate levels of awareness and security.

During the course of his 19 years in the information security industry, Hadnagy created the world’s first social engineering framework and newsletter, as well as hosted the first social engineering-based podcast. A well-known author on the subject, he has written four books for security professionals, including “Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You."
