VIMRO's Larry Boettger and Michael Horsch Fizz share critical elements in workforce cybersecurity training empowering workers to protect themselves and the company they work for.
Tampa, FL, December 22, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Cyber-criminals have a staggering variety of ways to get to company systems and sensitive data, and social engineering attacks number among their most successful. Social engineering is the technique of manipulating people into violating security procedures by either disclosing sensitive information, or otherwise breaking with security protocol.

However, social engineering relies on momentary weaknesses in people, and it’s easier to deceive someone than it is to hack into well protected systems.
