How Can Organizations Prevent Social Engineering Tactics?
In the most simple explanation, the security and prevention of releasing confidential information and data to cyber criminals comes down to knowing who you can and cannot trust. Since this boils down to relying on each individual’s judgment on who to trust, there is no 100% surefire way to safeguard against social engineering tactics. However, social engineering consulting services can greatly decrease the likelihood of information and data leaks.
