Abstract

This paper presents the concept of social engineering. The internet has completely changed the mode of operations of modern-day systems. There are billions of internet users and this number is rising every day. Hence, ensuring the security is very important for any cyber physical systems. This paper focuses on one of the very important aspects of cyber security, i.e., social engineering. It is defined as a set of techniques of human manipulation by exploitation of the basic emotions of human beings. Different institutions deploy state-of-the-art systems to protect the data housed in their datacenter. However, it is also essential that an individual must secure their personal information from the social engineers. Hence, this paper discusses the data privacy issues and various relevant techniques under the umbrella of social engineering. It discusses various social engineering techniques and summarizes those techniques, thus concluding the paper.
