Abstract

Social engineering remains an enduring and emerging threat in cybersecurity. This chapter delves into the fluid landscape of social engineering threats, examining the strategies employed by cyber criminals and providing valuable perspectives on the current defence mechanisms that organizations and individuals can utilize for the efficient reduction of these vulnerabilities. The development of social engineering threats is propelled by a profound grasp of human psychology, coupled with the growing dependence on digital communication and information-sharing channels. This paper underscores the importance of collaboration among individuals, organizations, and security experts in the continuous effort to combat social engineering. It highlights the significance of staying informed about emerging threats and continuously improving defensive strategies to confront the constantly evolving landscape of social engineering attacks. This article introduces a comprehensive framework designed to address these challenges and shape the future of cybersecurity.
