Course Overview
Social engineering is the art of manipulation to steal information. Unlike cybercrimes that involve cracking complex algorithms, it relies on predictable human behavior to get victims to reveal information voluntarily.
This course provides an overview of how social engineers exploit human psychology to access sensitive information, as well as tips for spotting attacks. By becoming aware of these dangers, you’re less likely to fall victim to various forms of manipulation.
