Social Engineering Training
Phishing attacks are getting more and more sophisticated. Anvaya’s social engineering training enables your employees to recognize and prevent these attacks.
What is Social Engineering?
Social engineering is a technique cybercriminals use to coax and trick people into giving away confidential information or money. These attackers rely on trust between two parties to steal personal information and commit cybercrimes.
Examples are many – emails, phones, or text messages coming from friends can coax individuals to act without checking. A cybercriminal might befriend an employee and get him to divulge company passwords. It may also be an email from a company ID asking for the password. A company executive may disclose the password without verifying the genuineness of such emails and put the entire business network at risk.
It is difficult to guard against social engineering attacks as it utilizes human behavior to catch the victim off guard.
