{"id":738,"count":2,"description":"Social engineering, in the context of information security, is the psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. This differs from social engineering within the social sciences, which does not concern the divulging of confidential information.\r\n\r\nSocial engineering is a discipline in social science that refers to efforts to influence particular attitudes and social behaviors on a large scale, whether by governments, media or private groups in order to produce desired characteristics in a target population. Social engineering can also be understood philosophically as a deterministic phenomenon where the intentions and goals of the architects of the new social construct are realized.\r\n\r\nSocial engineers (political science) use the scientific method to analyze and understand social systems in order to design the appropriate methods to achieve the desired results in the human subjects.
