Abstract
Cybersecurity refers to the organizational practices followed by the different multinational companies to defend their computers, servers, mobile devices, and networks from malicious attacks. This data exploitation is usually done by accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information or hacking the data for money extortion. It applies to systems and mechanisms aimed at stopping unauthorized entry, bugs, and cybercriminal threats to devices, networks, and records. It does not matter how many technologies are emerging to make our life easy; humans are the main vulnerability in every sector. In this chapter, the authors discussed social engineering techniques: how we are being attacked by unknown threats with simple manipulative actions.
