An Attractive Tool

Explain different factors that make social engineering an effective attack vector.

Research Presentation:

For this assignment, please prepare an 8-10 PowerPoint slide presentation that could be presented during a lunch knowledge transfer session workshop. Building on our discussion topic, why has social engineering become so attractive to the adversary?

As you research this consider:

• We have firewalls, anti-virus, anti-malware, and all of our systems are patched, why do these attacks continue to work so well?
• What is the psychology behind a social engineering attack?
• What type of research is necessary to perform such attacks?

*Include a cover slide, introductory slide, conclusion slide, and references slide. All of these slides will not count in your required total of slides.
