Recognizing Social Engineering Tactics

Social engineering is the practice of using social tactics to gain information. It’s often low-tech and encourages individuals to do something they wouldn’t normally do, or cause them to reveal some piece of information, such as user credentials.

Some of the individual methods and techniques include:

Flattery and conning

Assuming a position of authority

Encouraging someone to perform a risky action

Encouraging someone to reveal sensitive information

Impersonating someone, such as an authorized technician

Tailgating or closely following authorized personnel without providing credentials
