Social Engineering Audits

"Many of the most damaging security penetrations are, and will continue to be, due to Social Engineering, not electronic hacking or cracking. . . Social Engineering is the single greatest security risk in the decade ahead." — The Gartner Group

Employee security breaches due to social engineering are the single greatest security risk of the 21st century, and the hackers responsible for some of the most damaging and expensive security breaches in the last two years have done so using only deceit and other low-tech methods (pretexting, phishing, dumpster diving, etc.).
 
Do not let your company be a social engineer’s next victim. Prepare and train your employees with the most effective social engineering tools in the industry: FraudReady’s Social Engineering Fraud and Vulnerability Audits, Security Awareness/Social Engineering Training, and Security Awareness Campaigns. 

Social Engineering Fraud and Vulnerability Audits

The best way to effect change is to first find the weaknesses that make your company vulnerable. Our in-depth vulnerability audits address the threat of social engineering and low-tech attacks from every angle, including:  

• publicly accessible information and data mining,
• policies, procedures, and processes,
• phone system exploitation,
• pretext phone calls,
• phishing and fraudulent website defenses,
• dumpster diving,
• employee behavior, and
• physical security.

Our social engineering audits are comprehensive, so we can hone in on every area in your organization that could lead a breach in data security. Once we discover your best and worst data security practices, we then provide a detailed report highlighting problem areas and providing clear recommendations for improvement based on facts. These ongoing internal assessments, along with FraudReady's security awareness training and security awareness campaign materials, will give you a strong and reliable "human firewall."
