00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,090

<v ->In this section, we're going to discuss social engineering.</v>



2

00:00:04,090 --> 00:00:06,420

Now I know I've talked about a lot throughout this course,



3

00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:08,100

but we're going to use this short section



4

00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,970

to kind of review some of the main concepts



5

00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:12,080

to make sure you're good for test day.



6

00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,010

Now, social engineering is any act



7

00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:15,700

that manipulates users into revealing



8

00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:17,660

confidential information or performing



9

00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:20,250

other actions that are detrimental to that user



10

00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:22,080

or the security of our systems.



11

00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,310

Now, there's lots of different types



12

00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:24,380

of social engineering.



13

00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:25,850

There's things like pretexting,



14

00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:28,540

malicious insider threats, diversion theft,



15

00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:31,280

phishing, hoaxes, shoulder surfing,



16

00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,770

eavesdropping, dumpster diving, baiting,



17

00:00:33,770 --> 00:00:36,360

piggybacking, and watering hole attacks.



18

00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,750

We're going to talk about all of these



19

00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:39,130

throughout this section.



20

00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:40,990

And then we're going to talk about the importance



21

00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:43,410

of user education, because the user



22

00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:45,450

is really important in helping us avoid



23

00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:47,010

social engineering attacks.



24

00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,600

So, let's get started in the next lesson



25

00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,354

where I'm going to show you how a pretext actually occurs.



26

00:00:53,354 --> 00:00:55,407
