Cybersecurity Social Engineering

Cybersecurity

Social engineering in cybersecurity refers to manipulation tactics attackers use to trick people into divulging confidential information, granting access, or performing actions that compromise security, rather than exploiting technical vulnerabilities directly. Common techniques include phishing emails, pretexting, baiting, and impersonating trusted figures like IT staff or executives. Security professionals study and simulate these tactics — through phishing tests and red-team exercises — to train employees to recognize and resist manipulation.
