Social Engineering

Explanation:

Even if you invest in the best possible security infrastructure for your corporate network, you will still be vulnerable to attacks which exploit human shortcomings. An example is where an attacker manipulates a company employee to get the system access password in return for a favour. Now he can use the password to bypass all security infrastructure and gain access to critical data and code.
