Question:

Your company is implementing a new security awareness program. You are responsible for educating end users on a variety of threats, including social engineering. What BEST defines social engineering?

A Using people skills to obtain proprietary information.
explanation

Social engineering is about using people skills to get information you would not otherwise have access to. Illegal copying of software isn’t social engineering, nor is the gathering of discarded manuals and printouts, which describes dumpster diving. Phishing emails use some social engineering, but that is one example of social engineering, not a definition.
