Social engineering doesn’t require much technical knowledge to be successful, instead preying on common aspects of human psychology such as gullibility, courtesy, curiosity, thoughtlessness and greed.

The sheer creativity and innovation in social engineering embracesnew technologies and situations. Social engineers use a variety of techniques, from unsophisticated emails to multi-layered attacks that most observers can barely distinguish from genuine interactions.

The ingenuity of the modern social engineer thereforecalls for a geniussolution.
