What Are Social Engineering Defences?
Social engineering defences encompass strategies, training programmes, and technical controls designed to protect your organisation from psychological manipulation tactics used by cybercriminals.
This multi-layered security approach combines comprehensive employee education, simulated attack exercises, and advanced technical safeguards to combat sophisticated social engineering threats including phishing, pretexting, baiting, and vishing attacks.
By implementing effective social engineering defences, organisations establish critical human and technical barriers that prevent costly breaches, maintain operational continuity, and safeguard sensitive information from increasingly convincing manipulation attempts.
