Mastering Social Engineering: understanding Techniques, Targets and Countermeasures	Social engineering is a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity that involves manipulating individuals to divulge confidential information, perform actions, or make decisions that are not in their best interest. Unlike traditional hacking methods that focus on exploiting technical vulnerabilities, social engineering exploits human psychology and behavior.

It's not just about technological safeguards; it's also about recognizing and mitigating the human element in cybersecurity threats. Speaker: BASHAR TUKUR SHEHU
