What are social engineering attacks?
Social engineering is where a human being is manipulated into helping a hacker with their objective of gaining access to IT systems. Social engineering is the art of influencing, enticing or deceiving via email, phone and text. Phishing emails are the best-known example of social engineering and the most used method of attack. Social engineering training protects your workforce against these psychological attacks, helping to keep cyber criminals out of your business.
Secure staff lead to a secure organization, but social engineering techniques are always growing and evolving. This means your employees need to be continuously aware of the latest tools and tricks hackers will use against them. By regularly testing and educating your staff, you can give them a bulletproof mindset to make them immune to phishing and other forms of social engineering.
Benefits of social engineering exercises
Employees are your organization’s first and most important line of cyber defense, which is why they’re constantly under threat from social engineering attacks. Running social engineering exercises trains your teams to spot the warning signs and ensures they’re kept up to date with the latest social engineering tricks they’re likely to encounter in their day jobs. This helps keep hackers out of your business, protecting your vital data.
Regular social engineering testing is a core part of any cyber strategy. It works best when combined with Target Defense’s CREST-approved penetration testing and red team services, giving you a complete overview of your security posture.
