What is Social Engineering ?
Social engineering is a typical attack vector used by hackers to breach an organization’s security posture. In layman’s terms, it is the practice of using psychological manipulation to fool people into disclosing sensitive information and doing harmful acts, such as opening infected attachments through emails, messages, or calls.
Social engineering testing can assist in addressing awareness and education on the newest phishing trends through repeatable procedures that guarantee workers tag, report, and avoid falling prey to emails from bad actors.
