The author of the post seeks advice on explaining social engineering risks to executive protection (EP) agents who do not have deep technical knowledge. The author emphasizes the importance of this training for agents working with high-net-worth individuals, executives, and politicians, who are often targeted by techniques such as phishing, pretexting, and deepfakes. The author notes that EP agents are typically well-trained in physical security but less familiar with concepts like "vishing" or "LinkedIn recon."
