that means they're the weakest link in your cyber kill chain. (Insider - free

INSIDER: The 2015 Social Engineering Survival Guide

Despite being an integral aspect of many, if not most, major attacks, social
engineering tactics always seem to go underappreciated by enterprise security
teams. However, it's often easier to trick someone into opening an email and
exploiting a vulnerability that way, or convincing an unsuspecting assistant to
provide a few useful bits of information, than it is to directly attack a web
application or network connection. (Insider - free registration required.)
