USD 1.85 million was the average total cost to recover from a ransomware attack in 2021
More than 80% of cyberattacks rely on social engineering
What is security threat awareness testing?
Technical audits, though an essential part of any security program, are not, by themselves, a full simulation of a real cyberattack. Technology does not exist in a vacuum — people are a central component of any corporate process and are often the key to accessing sensitive data and critical systems.
We offer a set of expert social-engineering testing techniques for organizations that want to test their employees and related security policies, as well as improve their cyber literacy and resilience against these types of attacks.
The main social-engineering attack scenarios offered by the service include:
- collection of employees' email addresses and job titles;
- development of scenarios for the delivery of phishing emails;
- monitoring of user behavior;
- demonstration of results and obtained access.
Why is security threat awareness important?
People are the most vulnerable part of any information system and are often the victims of ransomware attacks and social engineering attacks, allowing attackers to gain access to a company's infrastructure. Social engineering attacks are a trend that threatens organizations in every industry.
Awareness training includes::
- Scoping and planning a project;
- assessment and analysis of the level of security awareness;
- preparation of a training program based on the identified level of awareness;
- conducting trainings for the target audience and developing a risk mitigation plan for key stakeholders.
Our approach to security threat awareness training
Similar to technical audits, our experts apply a sequence of steps during social engineering testing. This phased format ensures completeness while also maintaining flexibility in the scenarios and tricks, helping to ensure successful and effective interaction.
