What Is Social Engineering?

Social engineering is a psychological manipulation technique that coaxes victims into divulging sensitive information in order to gain access to systems, data or physical spaces. Rather than an attacker searching for a software vulnerability to exploit, they take advantage of human psychology: A hacker might fabricate a pretense to gain the trust of an individual and ultimately convince them to share access credentials to systems or an office space, or wire funds, for example. Social engineering attacks tend to target individuals who have special access to these assets.
