Social Engineering is a prevalent and insidious threat that involves manipulative techniques aimed at exploiting human psychology to deceive individuals into divulging confidential information, accessing restricted systems, or performing actions that may compromise security. As social engineering often targets human vulnerabilities rather than technical weaknesses, it poses a significant challenge to cybersecurity defences, and mitigating this threat requires a multi-faceted approach, including regular employee training to enhance awareness, implementing robust email filtering systems, and fostering a culture of scepticism regarding unsolicited communications.
