Whitepaper: Social Engineering Attacks

Exploiting vulnerability of human psychology

Social engineering remains one of the most pervasive and effective cyber threats facing organizations today. Unlike attacks that target technical vulnerabilities, social engineering exploits the fundamental principles of human psychology - trust, fear, curiosity, and obedience - to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security.

This whitepaper provides a deeper understanding of the "why" behind their effectiveness. By analyzing the cognitive biases and emotional triggers that attackers leverage, we will outline a comprehensive, human-centric security strategy. The paper will argue that the most robust defense is not just technological, but educational and cultural, transforming employees from potential targets into a proactive and resilient "human firewall."
