We wanted to educate companies, employees, and end users on how to better recognize social engineering efforts and prevent these attacks from succeeding. Read more about social engineering attacks in our article on social engineering. Because social engineering involves a human element, preventing these attacks, like preventing a phishing attack, can be challenging for enterprises. Commonly, social engineering involves email or other communication that invokes urgency, fear, or similar emotions in the victim, leading the victim to promptly reveal sensitive information, click a malicious link, or open a malicious file.
Social engineering attacks typically involve some form of psychological manipulation, fooling otherwise unsuspecting users or employees into handing over confidential or sensitive data. With hackers devising ever-more clever methods for fooling employees and individuals into handing over valuable company data, enterprises must use due diligence in an effort to stay two steps ahead of cyber criminals.
Social engineering attacks are not only becoming more common against enterprises and SMBs, but they're also increasingly sophisticated.
