About Course
Social engineering means manipulating people rather than hacking computers. Learn the psychological tricks criminals use, the main techniques (phishing, phone and text scams, impersonation, pretexting, tailgating and baiting), how to verify requests, and how to report attempts without embarrassment.
This course provides general awareness information. Always follow your organisation’s security policies and reporting procedures, and contact the police in an emergency.
