Social Engineering North Carolina

Social Engineering North Carolina is currently the ultimate con! The fraudsters are incredibly knowledgeable and have the resources to easily penetrate and infiltrate systems with thefts, breaches, and more. They will lie, convincingly and successfully, cheat, and steal their way past your organization's security controls, most likely with ease, if you do not have the proper security. Their goals: theft, fraud, malice, espionage, and more! Your best line of defense: ensuring that your staff acquires the necessary knowledge, precautions, and possible responses.

Fraud incidents are on the rise - especially in financial services and healthcare - and many of these crimes result from social engineers achieving deception in person, via the telephone, and/or through popular social networking sites. Despite all the media hype about the threats from hackers and viruses, the greatest threats to an organization's information security are actually the employees of the company! They are the people who, too often, too willingly, and too ignorantly and obliviously fall victim to Social Engineering North Carolina ploys, opening your company's doors wide open to slick-tongued fraudsters, theft, viruses, breaches, and much more.

There are two ways of protecting yourself and your employees from falling victim to a social engineering scam. One is training your staff how to recognize and deter social engineers, as well as what information is considered private information. If you don’t dictate what is and isn’t important, it’s guaranteed that your important information will be passed off as common knowledge and leaked to a social engineer. Secondly, you should regularly test your staff to see if they are following security protocols or if they disclose private information.

Here are some questions to ask to determine how vulnerable your network may be:

• How long ago was my last vulnerability test?
• How many changes and or upgrades has my network had since my last vulnerability test?
• Do the counter measures I have in place to prevent an intrusion actually work?
• What security layers should I implement next to best protect my company's assets?
• Do I know where confidential and sensitive data is located on my network enterprise wide?
• How do I know if my IT Security reports are accurate?
