Security awareness training is MOST effective against which type of threat?

Suggested Answer: C

Security awareness training is MOST effective against social engineering threats. This is because social engineering is a type of attack that exploits human psychology and behavior to manipulate or trick users into revealing sensitive or confidential information, or performing actions that compromise security. Security awareness training helps to educate users about the common types and techniques of social engineering attacks, such as phishing, vishing, baiting, etc., and how to recognize and avoid them. Security awareness training also helps to foster a culture of security within the organization and empower users to report any suspicious or malicious activities. The other options are not types of threats that security awareness training is most effective against, but rather types of attacks that exploit technical vulnerabilities or flaws in systems or applications, such as command injection (A), denial of service (B), or SQL injection (D).

Social injection sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's a real term. I guess I should lean towards social engineering for this one.

I feel like denial of service attacks are more technical, so they wouldn't be the main focus of awareness training.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of training against social engineering tactics.

I think social engineering is the right answer because most security awareness training focuses on that.
