Social Engineering
Humans frequently represent the most vulnerable aspect of an organization. Our engineers specialize in conducting comprehensive phishing, vishing, whaling, and other sophisticated social engineering attacks. The objective is to assess your company’s resilience to such tactics and, if requested, to access sensitive data, information, PII, or other specified targets as defined by the customer.
Our Approach
All testing performed is based on the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and customized testing frameworks.
Planning
Rules of engagement are obtained and customer goals are collected.
Discovery
To find potential weaknesses, exploits, and vulnerabilities, we do enumeration and scanning.
Attack
Verify possible weaknesses by exploiting them, and carry out more research after gaining new access.
Reporting
Document all discovered exploits and vulnerabilities, unsuccessful attempts, and the company's advantages and disadvantages.
Thorough Testing
Activities performed during social engineering include, but are not limited to:
- Email attacks (phishing)
- Targeted attacks (spear phishing)
- High-profile targeted attacks (whaling)
- Text message attacks (smishing)
- Phone-based attacks (vishing)
- Physical-based attacks
- Other attacks depending on specific customer content and footprint
