Defend Against Social Engineering Attacks

We surveyed over 200 enterprises to determine the prevalence of social engineering attacks and the toll these attacks are taking on these enterprises. Social engineering attacks are a critical business issue and one of the most significant threats respondents face.We explore the type, volume and growth of social engineering attacks from previous years as well as what companies are doing to combat these attacks.

We examine how organizations are going to be dedicating budget to defend against social engineering attacks.
