Learning Log-2:Social Engineering

It's been a while since the last time I've wrote my first learning log and now I've learned quite a lot and interesting things.

I've learned about Social engineering which is a crucial part of organizational security. In Information security, social engineering refers to manipulation of humans to get an information or an access to a system. Humans being vulnerable  and gullible has always been the target in getting some information. One of their trick is to establish a good relationship to a personnel who carries information, access to a system or something valuable to the company. After gaining the trust that's the time of their attack. That has always been a problem to  a lot of companies out their.

After the discussion I've realized that it's not just about having a good physical security, the company should also be aware on what's happening in the surrounding and that's what many organization failed to realized. Strict measure should be implemented all throughout the system, environment and the organization. Following that will prevent or lessen the risk of the trick.

Always remember we are humans fragile and vulnerable, so be vigilant,observant and pay attention.
