There’s a good chance you’ve been exposed to at least one social engineering attack. Unless you don’t have a phone. Or email. Or the internet. And you don’t go outside.  

And if you’re an IT or security team lead – you’ve likely had your fair share of headaches thanks to your organization’s users falling for the latest scam (we’re looking at you, business email compromise).    

Social engineering attacks, like phishing, are on the rise and this type of attack isn’t going away any time soon. Attackers aren’t just using phishing as a way to make a quick buck off of unsuspecting people who can be easily tricked into giving away their credit card information. Bad actors are using social engineering tactics to ransom millions of dollars from organizations and unleash destructive malware that can quickly spread through an entire supply chain.  

So, what is social engineering? And how do you guard against this rapidly evolving attack tactic?
