How easily would your employees spot and appropriately react to a real social engineering exploit? There’s only one safe, insightful way to find out: staging a simulated social engineering attack.
Social engineering is an extremely effective technique used by hackers worldwide to compromise internal systems and proprietary information assets. In fact, it’s one of the top two hacking techniques threat actors use to compromise organizations like yours.
With the use of savviness and open source intelligence (OSINT) from social media or other publicly accessible websites, malicious “social engineers” weave a convincing pretext via phone, email, or in person— all with the goal of fooling members of your team into trusting them.
Once you’re onboard, we’ll kick off with a chat with your relevant team members. We’ll use this opportunity to discuss the engagement rules, what to expect, and how to alert you if something is being detected during the testing phase.
Since our testing goes so far beyond simple baiting for link clicks, it’s during this call that we’ll identify your most guarded/sensitive information to target for access and exfiltration. We also use this time to identify any specific targets you want tested or excluded (contractors, CEO, C-Suite staff, interns, etc).
Because our goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible, we aim to gain access to your data or systems unnoticed. Your team may not even discover they’ve been compromised until you go over the findings with them directly.
Once testing commences, we’ll begin by gathering information on your organization and anyone with access to information systems or sensitive data. Then, it’s onto the fun part!
Our master social engineers develop the ruse, pretext, and situations we’ll use to influence the people— which involves extensive planning before any attack is made. It’s our superior preliminary research and strategizing that set allows our white hat social engineers to develop plausible situations that are realistic, credible, and trustworthy.
After a few weeks, or the specific terms of your social engineering testing period, we’ll schedule a final call to review our findings.
Your detailed and easy-to-explain report will include a walkthrough of our simulated cyber attacks. You’ll know exactly which personnel were tested, the details of each attempt, and our expert recommendations for fortifying your current policies. We’ll even help your IT team to implement new (or adjust old) security policies that reflect today’s social engineering threats and the results of our test.
