Social engineering exploits the human vulnerabilities to breach corporate infrastructure, and our penetration tests take an adversarial approach to test the targets.
Understanding Social Engineering
Social Engineering involves the manipulation of the natural human tendency to trust. Enterprises expend resources to train their personnel against social engineering attacks. The personnel is still susceptible to manipulation by adversaries.
Many experts opine that social engineering is the fast-growing security risk concern and perhaps accounts for many breaches today. Cyber-criminals utilize multiple techniques such as email scams, SIM cloning, and website cloning to breach into networks, computers, and financial information of the victims. In many cases, cyber-criminals use social skills and history to establish trust and influence the victim to provide information that enables them to access the organization’s IT infrastructure, and often, even physical access.
