By utilising these dimensions, SE can be grasped in all its aspects instead of through individual techniques. In this way, we have been able to extrapolate three dimensions of SE: persuasion, fabrication, and data gathering. In this article, we have sought to elaborate the concept of SE through analysis of the functions of different techniques.
In such explanations, the victim's psychological traits are overemphasised, although this kind of explanation can cover only a small portion of SE cases. In addition, due to the lack of analytical concepts, research conducted on SE encounters difficulties in explaining the success of SE. This leads to a very scattered, anecdotal, and vague notion of SE. The literature to date (40 texts), which was reviewed for this article, emphasises individual techniques in its description of SE. In information security terms, social engineering (SE) refers to incidents in which an information system is penetrated through the use of social methods.
