Included Features
Social engineering describes the psychologically manipulative ways hackers and criminals access confidential information, like passwords and bank information. Methods included in this manipulation include pretexting, spear phishing, and clone phishing, amongst a whole host of others (for more information, see phishing awareness training).
Recognising and combating social engineering in the workplace is paramount to your business’ cyber security and information security.
Social engineering is a technique used by cybercriminals to gain personal data from individuals through unauthorised access. This can occur by either direct contact and tricking victims into handing over their details, or by clicking on suspicious links and attachments that install malware on the device. Some examples of social engineering include baiting, phishing, pretexting, scareware and ransomware.
While software can help protect organisations against most forms of cyberattacks, strong levels of human competency through training is also important. Cyber security training enables a level of awareness within the organisation so that employees can confidently identify and prevent social engineering attacks. Social engineering relies on human interaction, so making employees aware of the dangers of these attacks can help develop a vigilant workforce.
Social engineering is a type of cyber-attack designed to manipulate people into giving up confidential, personal information. The types of information targeted often varies, cybercriminals look to trick people into giving up passwords, entering bank details or downloading malicious software. Social engineering tactics aim to exploit an individual’s natural inclination to trust as opposed to hacking into systems.
