Social Engineering & Phishing

Social Engineering & Phishing service is a process that helps organizations evaluate their employees’ susceptibility to social engineering and phishing attacks. Social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing certain actions, while phishing is the use of fraudulent emails or websites to trick individuals into giving away personal information. This service simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in an organization’s security awareness and incident response capabilities.

Benefits of Service

Benefits of a Social Engineering & Phishing service include: 

Approach & Methodology

Social Engineering & Phishing is a process that helps organizations evaluate their susceptibility to social engineering and phishing attacks. This service simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in an organization’s security awareness and to test the effectiveness of their security awareness training programs.

Benefits of a Social Engineering & Phishing service include : Identification of vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers through social engineering and phishing tactics Improved security awareness among employees Increased visibility into an organization’s security awareness training program Identification of areas for improvement and optimization Better compliance with industry standards and regulations The approach for a Social Engineering & Phishing service typically includes the following steps :

Frequently Asked Questions

The number, variety, and complexity of threats are growing at an alarming rate. Many specialists in the field of cybersecurity have seen a dramatic increase in external cyber assaults, particularly those launched by criminal groups and foreign governments.

The ease of mobile devices and the ability to be "online all the time" are two major benefits. Mobile devices have been extensively used by governments for the purposes of increasing access to government resources and the efficiency of government employees.
However, there are inherent security concerns and additional points of entry to the network when mobile devices are used for communication and data exchange. It's undeniable that mobile malware risks are on the rise, and lost or stolen devices are a major mobile security risk.
The usage of one's own mobile device at work, as well as the need for user identification, both pose additional dangers. A variety of recommendations for government agencies may be found in the NIST paper "Guidelines for Managing the Security of Mobile Devices in the Enterprise" (SP 800-124).

Cybersecurity spending should go toward developing capacities like cyber tools and education. However, cyber security cannot be an afterthought in the planning stages of any project, programme, or management effort; rather, it must be "baked into" each one from the start. Every company should include cyber security funding in their annual budget since it is a necessary expense.

People know something about cyber security, but not enough to keep themselves safe. Most people probably also know how important it is to keep data safe and that cyber threats are getting worse.Effective cyber security, on the other hand, is something that both the government as a whole and the people who work for or are served by the state government need to keep working on.
This ability needs to be used, tested, and improved on a regular basis through awareness training in order to fight not only aggressive cyber threats, but also cyber events that happen by accident.

Yes. Cloud services promise to offer flexibility, scalability, measured service, and some cost savings, but they also pose more security risks when it comes to accessing and storing government data and authenticating users.
When judging cloud computing in general and the different deployment models, it's important to know how much cloud services cost and how safe they are (public, private, hybrid, community). Cloud services made for consumers that are used by government workers pose extra risks because they might not have strict security controls.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework might be the best place to start. The Framework is a guide that uses the standards, rules, and best practises that are already in place. The Framework gives organisations a common taxonomy and a way to:
  • Describe their current state of cyber security and where they want to be in terms of cyber security.
  • Identify and rank opportunities for improvement in a process that is ongoing and can be repeated;
  • Check how close you are to your goal;
  • Talk about cyber security risk with both internal and external stakeholders.
