Cybersecurity programs often focus on firewalls, endpoint protection, and monitoring tools. However, attackers don’t always break through technical defenses. Instead, they target the most vulnerable point: people.
Social engineering, responsible for over 90% of modern cyber incidents (source: Verizon, 2024), exploits human traits like trust, curiosity, urgency, and fear to gain unauthorized access. Unlike technical attacks, it doesn’t rely on software flaws or unpatched servers. Instead, it manipulates the human factor: a single email, phone call, or face at the door can open the door to a breach.
For decision-makers, this presents a serious challenge. No matter how advanced the technology, people often remain the weakest link in cybersecurity.
