Social engineering attacks are techniques that exploit human psychology and behavior to manipulate or deceive people into performing actions or divulging information that can compromise the security of the organization. An example of a social engineering attack is receiving an email from human resources requesting a visit to their secure website to update contact information. This could be a phishing attempt to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link or entering their credentials on a fake website that looks like the legitimate one.
