11. What is Social Engineering?
Social Engineering; is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or
divulging confidential information.
“It is an act of psychological manipulation ”
It is typically trickery or deception for the purpose of information
gathering, fraud, or computer system access. In most cases the attacker never
comes face to face with the victim or victims.

12. Most Common
“Social Engineering Attacks”
The technical way on breaking into computer systems by brute-forcing the user logins
or ports have been replaced by sophisticated methods that are easier and yield better
and faster results based on human psychology.
These attacks can help the “attackersocial engineer” get access to any system
irrespective of the platform, software or hardware involved.
Here are some of the most common Social Engineering Attacks:

13. Defense against Social Engineering Attacks
There is not any effective way to defend against Social Engineering attacks.
However, implementing a layer protection approach would help us defend
against the many different types of Social Engineering attacks.
Some of these layers or steps would help you against “Social Engineering Attacks”:
 Security Awareness Training
 Background Verification
 Physical Security
 Mock Social Engineering Drills
 Data Classification policy

14. Defense against Social Engineering Attacks continued …
To reduce the success of Social Engineering attacks the following controls must be
taken care of:

periodical update.
