"Social Engineering threatens many businesses around the world and it seems that the best solution to date is employee training. This doesn't stop the attacks; it just makes it harder for the attacker. My final year project at university is to model social engineering attacks and then draw upon computer security principles to determine a solution to the problem. The ultimate objective is to find a single (or at least a small number) of solutions that solve all (or the vast majority) of social engineering attacks. If the project is successful it could revolutionise how we defend against social engineering attacks."
