dc.description.abstractSocial engineering exploits weaknesses to steal sensitive data from people and corporations. This research examines social engineering methods, effective prevention, awareness campaigns, and resource management. The research analyses social engineering attacks and responses using a comprehensive literature review and expert and survey data. Important findings show that phishing, pretexting, and baiting are common social engineering methods, emphasising the necessity for robust prevention. Staff training, practice runs, and cutting-edge cybersecurity software may prevent intrusions. Interactive training modules, cybersecurity technologies, and regular information about emerging risks are the greatest ways to reduce social engineering assaults. Open-source technology, sector cooperation, and innovative finance may help overcome resource constraints. This research helps business
