Social engineering is one of the fastest growing threats to a business’s cyber security. In social engineering attacks, a fraudster works to gain the confidence of a victim and manipulate them to hand over or enter personal, confidential information that can then be used to commit fraud online. In 2016, 60% of enterprises were victims of social engineering attacks. And phishing, a form of social engineering, accounted for 90% to 95% of all successful cyberattacks worldwide in 2017.
