In today’s digital world, attackers increasingly use social engineering to bypass technical defenses by targeting people. These manipulative tactics exploit trust, urgency, and fear to trick employees into giving up sensitive information or access. Traditional security tools alone aren’t enough - organizations need to strengthen their human firewall.
Social engineering attacks use psychological manipulation through phishing emails, vishing calls, deepfake voice messages, fake IT support, and even physical tactics like tailgating. Real-world cases, such as BEC fraud and deepfake scams, show how devastating these attacks can be.
Firewalls and antivirus software protect against technical threats, but they can’t prevent a well-crafted phishing email from fooling an employee. That’s why human-centered defense is essential.
