Social engineering attacks exploit human behavior to bypass security and gain access to sensitive information or systems. These attacks use tactics like deception and manipulation, often proving more effective than direct technical hacks—even in well-secured organizations. To minimize the damage from successful attacks, organizations must go beyond basic prevention (like employee training and email filters) and implement robust security policies and processes. These measures help limit financial and data losses, forming a critical part of a layered, defense-in-depth security strategy.
