Abstract
The workplace has gone through a forced and dramatic change. Remote and hybrid working have been normalised, putting a huge strain on the technology infrastructures that support them and rendering many of our traditional cyber defences obsolete. Of all the threats that face today's workforce, social engineering is arguably the most pernicious and difficult to mitigate.
