Presentation Social Engineering

Social engineering involves psychologically manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Attackers use social engineering to obtain sensitive data like login credentials and authorization details. It is effective because security is only as strong as its weakest link - humans. While it is difficult to detect social engineering attempts, organizations can protect themselves by fostering a security-aware culture where employees are educated to identify inappropriate requests and use strong password protection and two-factor authentication.
