Social Engineering: Building the Final Line of Defense
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations should invest heavily in firewalls, endpoint detection, zero-trust architectures, intrusion detection systems, SIEM platforms, and strong encryption. These barriers are essential, and do stop many attacks. But there’s one attack vector that routinely bypasses technical defenses: social engineering.
At the end of the day, your employees are the last line of defense for when technology can’t recognize deception. If your employees are not trained, vigilant, and aligned with security protocols, a single manipulated click or crafty email can lead to devastating results.
