Abstrct:
Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or systems. This research project aims to enhance organizational readiness and response capabilities by creating detailed simulation scenarios based on social engineering attacks. These scenarios will cover various aspects of social engineering attacks, including their detection, interruption, and prevention. The project will establish preventive measures to mitigate the risk of future attacks, including user education, policy implementation, and the development of robust security protocols. By thoroughly simulating social engineering attack scenarios, this project aims to provide organizations with practical insights and strategies to enhance their incident response frameworks, train their security teams more effectively, and fortify their defenses against social engineering threats. Additionally, the project will analyze the psychological aspects of social engineering to develop more effective training modules. Ultimately, this research seeks to create a comprehensive defense strategy that integrates human and technical defenses against social engineering.
