How we help

Socially engineered attacks are aimed at people, not technology. We help building awareness around social engineering in your organization. We have significant experience performing social engineering exercises across a broad range of organizations. Before an engagement is undertaken our consultants work with you to determine the requirements, objectives, and scope to strengthen your information security awareness posture.

Active social engineering techniques

Our experts can perform different types of social engineering simulations based on your requirements. We have listed some examples below:

  • Spear Phishing: a crafted email designed to obtain corporate or remote access usernames and passwords
  • Telephone: calls to staff members requesting details that should not be given to unauthorised callers
  • Physical: a consultant will go onsite to attempt to gain access to areas which should be restricted to employees only using various techniques
