Why It Matters More Than Ever

Today, sophisticated threat actors often find it easier and faster to trick an employee into providing access than to bypass complex technical defenses (like firewalls or intrusion detection systems). Social Engineering attacks are responsible for a significant percentage of data breaches because they exploit fundamental human traits such as trust, curiosity, and fear.
