Social Engineering Defense
Social engineering bypasses every technical defense by targeting humans. Phishing, pretexting, vishing, baiting — these attacks succeed because they exploit cognitive biases, trust, and urgency. This course teaches you how each attack type works, how to recognize them in real time, and how to build personal and organizational defenses against human-targeted attacks.
