FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
#SocialEngineeringDay
Coming August 6, 2024, the first-ever National Social Engineering Day on the National Day Calendar.
When it comes to social engineering cybercriminals are not generally the first thought that comes to mind. However, hackers leverage social engineering tactics in an estimated 90% of cyberattacks, costing millions in damages. This new National Day is designed to protect businesses from being manipulated and having devastating crime instantly take over operations.
Cybercriminals leverage social engineering tactics to exploit our trust manipulating otherwise cautious individuals into inadvertently giving unauthorized access to business systems, data, and personal, financial information.
