Social Engineering Testing

Social Engineering is not always a targeted and planned attack but can often be a crime of opportunity which leads to the access and theft of sensitive company information or assets.

What is Social Engineering Testing?

Social Engineering Testing evaluates an organisation's resilience against manipulative tactics, testing susceptibility to phishing and impersonation through simulated scenarios.

This proactive approach identifies human vulnerabilities, enabling organisations to strengthen security measures and educate their workforce on recognising and mitigating social engineering threats.
