Cybercriminals today use social engineering — manipulating people to carry out funds-transfer schemes, steal sensitive data and compromise audience trust. The fallout for Broadway can include multi-show outages, lost sales and peak-show disruption. From setup to showtime, here's how cyber attacks may weave social engineering risks into every step.

Cyber quick check: Five pre-show rehearsals

  1. Validate every high-value request: Confirm before moving money or sharing sensitive data.
  2. Treat payment changes as high-risk: Verify bank changes directly with vendors.
  3. Prepare people for deception: Train teams using simulations to know what to spot.
  4. Plan for disruption early: Define roles if systems go down on show day.
  5. Close insurance coverage gaps: Verify your policies provide comprehensive protection against cybercrime losses.
