Introduction 
Today society is more dependent on digital devices so social engineering is greatest threat to 
all type of security system. Social engineering is the way of handling people in skilful manner 
so they give up secret data. The different kinds of data these hackers are seeking can depend. 
 Social engineering depends on user interaction and they often involve clever people into 
breaking normal security rules. In this document, we focus on the issue of social 
engineering in the context of cyber security and how does these issues get solved. Cyber 
security is the technique used to protect the computers, networks from attacks and 
unauthorized access.  
Problem: Social engineering is used to gain cyber information  
Now days cyber criminals use social engineering to collect personal data such as passwords, 
firewall data, network information etc. The method of doing social engineering attacks are 
via email, phone call or through use of internet. This methodology takes more time as it 
depends upon on the security rules of the firm and the sensitivity of data.  
The various loss to organization due to social engineering attacks as follows 
1. Personal data is shared with unknown user across the internet or via email due to 
social engineering.  
2. The loss of data from sever is very high so companies always at risk of important 
data.  
3. Unknown mails being initiated from user system,
