Cyberattacks have become more sophisticated than ever, with social engineering standing out as one of the most dangerous tactics used by attackers. Instead of exploiting software vulnerabilities, social engineers manipulate human behavior, using trust, fear, and urgency to deceive employees into handing over sensitive information.
With 98% of cyberattacks involving social engineering, businesses that fail to address this growing threat risk severe financial losses, damaged reputations, and operational chaos that can take years to fully recover from.
Why Social Engineering Works
Social engineering attacks bypass traditional defenses like firewalls and antivirus software, targeting the most vulnerable part of any organization: its people. Employees who are not properly trained or vigilant are often tricked into giving away credentials, clicking on malicious links, or downloading dangerous attachments.
Take, for instance, the AI voice mimicry attack on a CEO in 2019, where cybercriminals used artificial intelligence to impersonate the executive’s voice. This resulted in a company losing €220,000 to fraud. No matter how sophisticated your software security is, it’s impossible to predict and stop every human mistake.
This is where proactive security measures come into play.
