In the digital age, the convergence of advanced technologies and human behavior presents a complex cybersecurity challenge, particularly through the lens of social engineering. Social engineering attacks exploit psychological manipulation rather than relying solely on technical vulnerabilities. By leveraging human trust and deception, these attacks become particularly difficult to defend against, evolving alongside advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other technologies. This dynamic environment heightens the risk of cyber threats, underscoring the need for comprehensive and innovative strategies to address these emerging vulnerabilities.
Effective Strategies for Combatting Social Engineering in Cybersecurity offers a thorough exploration of these challenges, providing a well-rounded approach to understanding and countering social engineering threats. It delves into the theoretical aspects of social engineering, including the psychological principles that drive these attacks, while also offering practical solutions through real-world case studies and applications. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, the book equips academics, practitioners, and policymakers with actionable strategies to enhance their defenses.
