Have You Secured Layer 8? TierPoint Talks Social Engineering and Human Risk Management
The Amplitude of Tech, Thursday, October 1st, 2026
TierPoint experts discuss how attackers now log in with stolen credentials and social engineering rather than breaking in.
In this episode of The Amplitude of Tech podcast, host Shawn talks with TierPoint security sales specialist Alicia Leone and a TierPoint colleague about human risk management.
They explain that attackers increasingly log in rather than break in, using stolen credentials, MFA fatigue and pretext calls impersonating IT.
The discussion focuses on 'layer 8', the people no firewall can protect, and how organizations can reduce social engineering risk through training, process and controls.
