When discussing IT security it is very common to pair up defenses with attacks. Firewalls counter network attacks, anti-virus for viruses, anti-spyware for spyware and so forth. So what is paired up with social engineering? What is the best way to defend against the attacker using deception, lying, and pretexting?
If you read just about any column or article on the topic the universal answer appears to be training. I beg to differ. Are quarterly, half-day training sessions really the best way to get employees to use screen savers and passwords? Is customer education the way to counter phishing attacks? Should you invest in security awareness training?
