SOCIAL ENGINEERING AWARENESS Human Manipulation and Phishing
What is Social Engineering? Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Unlike traditional hacking, which relies on technical exploits, social engineering targets the human element, exploiting our natural tendencies to trust, help, and avoid confrontation. This makes it a particularly insidious threat, as even the most sophisticated security systems can be bypassed if an attacker can trick an employee into providing access.
