Social & Digital Engineering


Personal online behaviour impacts workplace cybersecurity, as risky habits from personal life often carry over into professional settings, leading to vulnerabilities.
In personal contexts, many people encounter social engineering scams, such as holiday scams, government impersonation frauds, and non-delivery scams, where attackers trick individuals into revealing sensitive details.​
Cyber attackers frequently exploit social & digital engineering techniques to identify predictable human behaviours and mimic employee credentials to gain unauthorised (often undetected) access to corporate systems.
