Social Engineering

Let’s face it. No-one’s gonna try and hack the mainframe and encrypt the proxy and defrag the flux capacitor if they can just extract the password from the receptionist. This, in a nutshell, is social engineering. But never fear, a wise workforce is a secure one. This animated course looks at the tricks and techniques used by cyber-criminals to gather valuable information from unsuspecting employees. It covers the who, what and why of social engineering, and importantly, how to avoid falling victim to an attack.
