- Social Engineering Techniques: Examples and Countermeasures: Social engineering is a method of manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. Common social engineering techniques include phishing, pretexting, baiting, and tailgating, among others. Educating users about the signs of social engineering attacks and implementing security awareness training programs helps mitigate the risk of falling victim to these deceptive tactics.
