The primary goal of social engineering tactics in cybersecurity is to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential information or granting unauthorized access. Attackers exploit psychological tricks such as urgency or trust to deceive targets into performing actions that compromise their security. Common tactics include phishing, pretexting, and baiting, with the intent to gain access to sensitive data, networks, or systems. Understanding and recognizing these tactics is crucial for organizations to develop effective security training and awareness programs for their employees.
