CSEC 620 Social Engineering and Human Hacking
This course deals with social engineering techniques underlying phishing and insider security attacks. Social engineering is a security attack vector that uses human factors and interactions in order to manipulate humans to help breaking normal system security procedures and best practices. Social engineering is used in many cyber security attacks as it is often easier to exploit users' weaknesses than it is to find a software, hardware, or network vulnerability. The content of this course exposes students to a comprehensive coverage of the various social security engineering attacks and countermeasures.
