Mitigation and defense against SET attacks

Mitigation and defense against SET attacks require a comprehensive approach that encompasses technical controls, user awareness, and proactive security measures. By implementing a robust defense strategy, organizations can effectively mitigate the risks associated with SET attacks and protect against the exploitation of human vulnerabilities.

It is good to highlight that while we are talking about the SET framework, these best practices also apply to most social engineering attacks executed with any other technical methods and tools.

Now, let’s review those best practices to mitigate and defend against SET attacks.

Technical controls and vulnerability management

Regularly patching and updating software and systems is critical to address known vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit using SET. This includes maintaining up-to-date operating systems, applications, and security software.
