Course Description

Every IT professional should know and understand the mentality of malicious hacker/social engineer to be able to defend his/her company’s IT systems. In many systems, the weakest point is the human itself and anyone, who does not posses any knowledge or awareness of cyber-attacks, is a potential target of social engineering attacks through manipulation.
