Overview

Although there are technical defence systems such as spam filters, if a cyber-attack
gets through one of these, the next line of defence is often a human one, which is
why it is so important that your employees are made aware of the dangers of being
duped into providing information that could make your IT systems less secure.

Cyber criminals use a number of techniques to get people do things they wouldn’t
normally do, such as give their personal information to someone they don’t know.
These techniques are often referred to as social engineering, which uses things like
the perception of authority, threats, fear (of missing out), and familiarity to fool people
into letting down their guard regarding IT Security.

learners and help ensure they know how to deal with the issue when it occurs.
