Social Engineering for Managers

Social engineering occurs when a hacker uses two-way forms of communication, including phones and messaging, to trick users into sharing personal or confidential information. Our Social Engineering module teaches a three-step method to add clarity to a confusing conversation, challenge the other person's identity and verify suspicious requests.

This module covers social engineering techniques, reviews HIPAA requirements regarding external requests for PHI, and how healthcare executives support policies to prevent social engineering attacks.

This module walks learners through the key components of social engineering and how to recognize and respond to suspicious requests.
