2019-12-01 17:44:15 | NBlog December - social engineering awareness module (lien direct) |  December 2019 sees the release of our 200th security awareness and training module, this one covering social engineering. The topic was planned to coincide with the end of year holiday period - peak hunting season for social engineers on the prowl, including those portly, bearded gentlemen in red suits, allegedly carrying sacks full of presents down chimneys. Yeah right!I'm fascinated by the paradox at the heart of social engineering. Certain humans threaten our interests by exploiting or harming our information. They are the tricksters, scammers, con-artists and fraudsters who evade our beautiful technological and physical security controls, exploiting the vulnerable underbelly of information security: the people. At the same time, humans are intimately involved in protecting and legitimately exploiting information for beneficial purposes. We depend on our good people to protect us against the bad people.Vigilance is often the only remaining hurdle to be overcome, making security awareness and training crucial to our defense. It's do or die, quite literally in some cases! The module concerns information risks, controls and incidents involving and affecting people:Various types of social engineering attacks, scams, cons and frauds – phishing being just one of many topical examples;Exploitation of information and people via social media, social networks, social apps and social proofing e.g. fraudulent manipulation of brands and reputations through fake customer feedback, blog comments etc.;The social engineer's tradecraft i.e. pretexts, spoofs, masquerading, psychological manipulation and coercion. |
