Social Engineering is the act of using various methods of manipulation to gain access to information through human interaction – often by tricking an individual into breaking normal security procedures.

These methods may involve phishing emails, bogus telephone calls, gaining unauthorised access to the premises and obtaining information through accessing the company’s network.

Our specialist consultants can analyse the propensity of social engineering attacks within your company and identify any ongoing risks posed by backdoors into your systems and faulty spam filters. Our social engineering security assessment provides software, training and general housekeeping guidance which, once implemented, can reduce the impact of social engineering attacks.

Because social engineering depends on human factors, it is the biggest threat facing any security system. Our training courses are developed to aid prevention by educating people about the value of the information they have access to, training them to protect it and increasing awareness of how social engineers operate and the effects of an attack.
