ABSTRACT

A big problem of our time is the constant increase in the energy used. An efficient energy household is one possible solution. Increasing efficiency requires examining the energy balance. System disturbance is one of the factors influencing the energy balance of systems. Social Engineering is a form of system disruption that manifests itself in covert and conscious system control. The present study examines the harmful energy role of Social Engineering through the parallels between the regulatory circuit of control theory and the operating model of Social Engineering. The result of the study highlights the importance of cyber defense.

KEY WORDS
