Phishing and Social Engineering

Social engineering is a term used to describe a wide range of malicious activities achieved through human interactions. The attacker uses psychological manipulation to trick users into committing security mistakes or disclosing sensitive information. Hackers use deceptive tricks to elicit passwords, bank account details, and other personal information.

With social engineering penetration testing, we perform typical social engineering scams on a company's employees to determine the company's vulnerability to this type of exploit. They help you test employee compliance with security policies and practices established by management.

Raising awareness of cyber risks
