SOCIAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Social engineering is a type of manipulation that coaxes someone into giving up confidential information such as a social security number or building access codes. Social engineering, in the world of information security, is a type of cyber attack that works to get the better of people through trickery and deception rather than technological exploits. These attacks take advantage of human vulnerabilities such as emotions, trust or habit in order to convince individuals to take action such as clicking a fraudulent link or visiting a malicious website. Though less sophisticated than other cyber attack strategies, social engineering can have severe consquences and often can be the attacker's foot in the door for a major attack.
Social engineering is employing the use of deceptive techniques to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information.
