Course Overview
Social engineering exploits human behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities, making it one of the most effective attack methods used by cybercriminals. From phishing and pretexting to baiting and insider manipulation, employees are often the weakest link in security.
This Social Engineering and Cybersecurity Awareness Training Course provides participants with the knowledge to recognize, prevent, and respond to social engineering threats. It emphasizes building a culture of awareness, fostering resilience, and reducing risks associated with human factors.
Through role-play simulations, phishing exercises, and case studies, participants will learn how to strengthen human defenses and integrate awareness into enterprise security strategies.
