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.
