The BEST way to determine the effectiveness of an awareness program implemented to mitigate the risk of infections introduced through the use of social media would be to conduct a simulated social engineering attack (option C).
Explanation:
A social engineering attack is a type of attack that relies on human interaction to trick users into breaking security procedures or divulging sensitive information. By simulating a social engineering attack, an organization can evaluate how effective their employees are in recognizing and avoiding such attacks.
Conducting a post-awareness program survey (option A) or a quiz based on the awareness program materials (option B) can be useful to measure the knowledge level of employees after the awareness program. However, it doesn't necessarily provide information on how well employees can apply that knowledge in real-world situations.
Employee attendance rate at the awareness program (option D) is not an effective measure of effectiveness since attendance does not indicate that employees have actually learned and applied the knowledge presented in the awareness program.
In conclusion, conducting a simulated social engineering attack is the most effective way to determine the effectiveness of an awareness program to mitigate the risk of infections introduced through the use of social media.
