Appsian01 Feb, 2021Security

In the digital security world, social engineering is defined as the act of tricking someone into doing something that is often detrimental to themselves or others. Social engineering attacks can come in many forms: over the web, email, phone, postal mail or even in person. Attackers can be very creative in how they disguise a malicious request into a seemingly legitimate call to action. And these attacks have proven to be a very effective way for a criminal to get inside your organization.
