Despite this, there are still things that you can do to make your web apps more resistant to social engineering.
With this in mind, consider implementing these strategies at your organization to protect your web applications and reduce the chance of falling victim to social engineering.
For web applications, train users on how to verify a website's authenticity, recognize a secure or insecure connection, and understand the importance of not reusing passwords across different services.
Securing external web applications against social engineering attacks requires a deliberate, comprehensive approach.
Perform regular web application monitoring and audits: You don't know what you don't know - which is why it's so important to regularly collect and analyze data about your web application's performance.
Web analytics software can identify unusual traffic patterns or sources, alerting you to potential reconnaissance activity, and web application firewall software can block attack attempts in real-time by inspecting incoming traffic for malicious patterns.
