Strengthening Personnel Security Against Social Engineering Threats

To safeguard organizations, it is crucial to enhance personnel security through effective training and awareness programs. Social engineering poses a significant threat, exploiting the human element, also referred to as 'wetware.' Coercion and deception are common tactics used by con artists. Organizations often report a 100% success rate in social engineering tests. A comprehensive 'top-to-bottom' approach is essential, emphasizing continuous training, responsibility awareness, and regular reminder sessions to minimize vulnerabilities and enhance overall security defenses.
