About this course

Social engineers use deception to manipulate people into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. And you could be their next target. Protect yourself from a social engineering attack by applying the strategies learned from this short instructional video.

Course overview

Not all cyber threats come from computers; many come from people pretending to be someone they’re not. According to Verizon's 2024 report, over 98% of cyberattacks involve social engineering. This quick, practical course helps you spot fake emails, calls, and messages, understand manipulation tactics, and respond the right way. With the average breach costing $4.5 million, learning to pause, think, and protect yourself is more important than ever.
