Social Engineering addresses non-technical intrusions, which rely heavily on human interaction and often involve tricking other people into breaking normal security procedures.

Social engineering usually involves a deception: trying to gain the confidence of a trusted source by relying on the natural helpfulness of people as well as their weaknesses. Other Social Engineering techniques include eavesdropping, appealing to the target’s vanity or their authority, as well as physical security bypass and searching refuse bins for sensitive information.

Our Social Engineering services are offered as part of our comprehensive Technology Risk Management practice to maximize total information security.
