  • Combatting Social Engineering in 2024: From Adaptation to Elimination
Psychological manipulation through social engineering has become a pervasive threat to businesses and their employees.

In a survey of 1,000 IT professionals around the world, LastPass sought to understand how social engineering has affected their organisations and what they’re doing to defend against this threat.

It found that 81% of businesses have seen an increase in phishing this past year, and with increasingly complex social engineering making hacks more likely to succeed, a rethink is required.

Read this eBook to learn:

  • Why and how businesses need to adapt to the evolutionary nature of social engineering.
  • How the influx of Gen AI has been a game changer.
  • How cognitive dissonance is undermining the efficacy of phishing testing programmes.
  • How to move away from the crux of these social engineering attacks: passwords.
