Social engineering techniques, such as pretexting, can be leveraged against both individuals and businesses. Since these attacks rely on human psychology instead of technical methods, awareness training is essential. This course will empower learners with the knowledge and skills to recognise, prevent, and respond to social engineering attacks with a specific focus on the art of pretexting.
Once the course is completed, you’ll have explored key pretexting topics such as psychological manipulation techniques, how to prevent attacks, and response and recovery strategies.
Audio narration and animated video aid comprehension, while a downloadable transcript provides a handy primer. A built-in assessment checks that learners have mastered the content.
