Prerequisites for the Social Engineering Training
There are no formal prerequisites for this Social Engineering Training Course. However, a basic understanding of cyber security concepts and computer systems will be beneficial for delegates.
Social Engineering Training Course Overview
Social Engineering Training introduces delegates to the techniques attackers use to manipulate human behaviour and gain access to sensitive information. It covers common methods such as phishing, baiting, pretexting, elicitation, and influence-based attacks.
This training helps delegates recognise social engineering threats and understand how information gathering, psychological tactics, and digital tools are used in attacks. It also supports stronger awareness, safer decision-making, and improved organisational security practices.
This 1-day Social Engineering Course by The Knowledge Academy equips delegates with practical knowledge to identify and reduce social engineering risks. Upon completion, delegates will be able to recognise manipulation techniques and support stronger cyber security awareness.
Social Engineering Training Course Objectives
- To identify various threats such as social engineering attacks and Ransomware
- To analyse the psychological principles behind social engineering
- To apply prevention strategies and awareness training against Phishing and phishing attacks
- To enhance organisational resilience against human-based attacks
- To develop skills to create effective security awareness campaigns for teams
- To reduce human error and strengthen overall organisational security posture
Upon completion, delegates will be able to recognise social engineering tactics and apply practical prevention methods. They will also be able to support awareness initiatives that reduce human-based security risks.
