It's time to formally introduce myself here! Hi, I'm Rachel Tobac 🤖​🤟​ I'm a hacker and the CEO of SocialProof Security. We help orgs mitigate human-based cybersecurity threats with training, talks, videos, demos, workshops & pentests.

You'll see me talk about human-based hacking, up to date social engineering tactics in the news, the latest human factor security tips, tricks to catch cyber criminals, and more.

Fun facts:
- Used to perform improv (and before that, musical theater) before I got into hacking. Improv is super helpful in my human-based hacks and musical theater is helpful for my shanties.
- I got 2nd place in the social engineering contest at DEF CON three years in a row. Consistency is key lmao
- My degree is in Neuroscience. I focused on Behavioral Neuroscience and worked on rats in college -- yes, I successfully kept every rat subject alive during brain surgery!
- I have the cutest rescue dog named Snugs, I'm sure you'll see me post pictures of him here.
- My career path was super non linear: Neuroscience and Behavioral Psychology degree > Teaching > Community Management > UX Research Lead > Hacker > CEO. I love to hear about other non linear career paths.
