Targeting People

Social engineering attacks target people rather than technology. Phishing, impersonation, tailgating, baiting, and other tactics can exploit trust, emotions, helpfulness, or routine behavior to gain access to information, systems, or facilities.

Awareness is the first line of defense.
Question unexpected requests. Verify identities through trusted channels. Protect sensitive information. Be cautious when someone creates unnecessary urgency or relies on familiarity to gain your trust. When something appears suspicious, report it.

Trust is a strength. Verifying is security.
People. Information. Advantage.
