Social engineering testing simulates a targeted attack on employees and/or facilities, attempting to compromise your organization's information security program by exploiting the human element or a physical security vulnerability.
The social engineering test exercises in CyberSecOp are based on actual attack methods used by malicious actors, such as phishing, spear phishing, vishing, pretexting, impersonation, baiting, quid pro quo, tailgating, diversion, lock picking, and RFID badge cloning.
