I thought man-in-the-middle attacks were more technical, not training-related.

I’m a bit confused. Can training help with man-in-the-middle attacks? I thought those were more about securing the network itself.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember something about denial-of-service attacks being more technical and not really something training can fix.

I think social engineering is definitely the one that can be mitigated with proper training. Employees need to recognize those tactics.

I think the answer is social engineering. Proper training can teach employees to recognize the tactics used in social engineering attacks and how to respond appropriately. That seems like the best way to address this type of threat.

Okay, let's see. Social engineering is the most obvious one, but I'm wondering if there could be other types of attacks that employee training could help mitigate. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know social engineering is a big risk, but I'm not confident that's the only answer. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. Social engineering is definitely the right answer here - proper employee training can help them identify and avoid falling for social engineering attacks.

I'd say A too. Can't really train your way out of a Smurf attack or a DoS, but social engineering is all about the human element.

I'm going with A. Social engineering is all about tricking people, and education is the best defense against that.
