At the same time, the growth in the value of information as a resource in the modern world and the transition to electronic document management in the activities of organizations is accompanied by the emergence of new methods of illegal access. The purpose of this study is to analyze the most relevant methods of influence and create a training program for staff that would minimize the risks associated with illegal access to information of organizations. The paper presents and analyzes data characterizing the share of the impact of social engineering methods on individuals and legal entities. The study has confirmed that the most effective way to protect against social engineering is to train workers. It is advisable to organize the process periodically in a distance format, adapting the program to the position occupied by the employee. Training, in addition to theoretical lessons on the study of methods of protection, should contain active methods, discussions on the analysis of current information security incidents and solution of case studies.
