Watch Out for These Phishing and Social Engineering Techniques  

Cybercriminals don’t need to use brute force or write malicious code to break into your systems. All they need to do is target your people. That’s what social engineering is all about. It’s a method that relies on psychological manipulation to bypass technical safeguards and gain unauthorized access to your business, potentially leading to harmful actions.

These attacks come in many forms. You might recognize terms like phishing, baiting, and tailgating. Each one uses a slightly different approach, but the objective is the same: to manipulate someone’s response.
