Social Engineering & Physical Security Testing

Social engineering 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 little trouble, 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 ploys, opening your company's doors wide open to slick-tongued fraudsters, theft, viruses, breaches, and much more.

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?
