Social engineering in cybersecurity refers to the use of psychological manipulation to trick people into divulging confidential information or performing certain actions. Cyber criminals use social engineering tactics to gain access to sensitive information, such as passwords, banking information, or personal information. Common social engineering techniques include phishing, baiting, pretexting, and tailgating.
