What is social engineering?
Social engineering is a hacking method that uses people as the target to gain access to confidential or other sensitive information. Instead of attacking systems directly, attackers try to persuade or trick someone into sharing information or granting access. It is important to understand these methods so you can protect yourself and your organization.
How is social engineering different from other hacking attacks?
Unlike many other hacking attacks, social engineering relies on human interaction. Attackers target people and use manipulation to obtain information or access. Because the “weak point” is often the person, recognizing the tactics used is key to preventing a breach.
