Our social engineering assessments are all about evaluating the security of your people by attempting to lure them into taking some unsafe action or divulging sensitive information. Admittedly, this type of assessment is entrenched in deception, but unfortunately that is one of the favorite tools used by some of the world’s most notorious hackers. Just think about it this way, is it easier to break into a network bypassing the firewall and intrusion detection system or simply convincing an employee to take some unsafe action such as clicking on a link?
People are often the weakest link in any security strategy and a social engineering assessment is a great way to examine and enhance the security consciousness of your team.
