Security Awareness

Social Engineering Testing

Social Engineering Testing is a test method designed to evaluate the security of the organization by simulating social-based attacks. This method focuses on psychological manipulation to distract individuals to provide sensitive information, like passwords, or access protected systems. In the cybersecurity world, these tests are very important because humans are often a weak point in cybersecurity defense.

Process of Digital Forensic & Incident Response​

Process of Social Engineering Testing:

Continuous Monitoring and Incident Response

1. Preparation and Planning

Did a preliminary consultation with a client to understand the need and purpose of testing.

Vulnerability Scanning and Analysis

2. Scenario Development

Designing a realistic attack scenario based on threat analysis and client organization characteristics.

Penetration Testing Execution

3. Testing Implementation

Applying approved social engineering techniques and gathering data regarding response and target behavior.

Automation and Monitoring

4.  Analysis and Assessment

Analyzing the test results to identify the vulnerabilities found and assess related risk.

Reporting and Remediation

5. Report and Recommendation

Commencing detailed reports about testing results and giving improvement recommendations, accompanied by presentation sessions for clients.

Remediation and Ongoing Improvement

6. Training and Follow-up

Taking training sessions for employees about security awareness and providing options for periodically review as well as retesting after repairs are done.

Why are Social Engineering Testing Important?

Benefit of Social Engineering Testing:

Entirely Identification
Detecting a weak point in security caused by human behavior, so that organizations can take steps to improve it.
Increase Security Consciousness
Increasing employees' understanding of potential threats and social engineering techniques, so they're more alert and capable of avoiding attacks.
Reduce Data Breach Risk
By understanding and overcoming vulnerabilities, organizations can reduce the possibility of data abuses and lose sensitive information.
Building Security Culture
Creating a powerful security culture throughout the organization through training and awareness, where every employee feels responsible for data security.
Reconnaissance
Gathering information about XYZ Corporation's network and systems using publicly available sources and techniques like DNS enumeration, network scanning, and social engineering.
Vulnerability Assessment
Conducting automated vulnerability scans using industry-standard tools to identify known vulnerabilities in network devices and web applications.
Exploitation
Attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to the network or compromise web applications. This involved leveraging both automated and manual techniques.
Post-Exploitation
Assessing the extent of access gained during the exploitation phase and attempting to escalate privileges or move laterally within the network to assess the impact of a potential breach.
Reporting
Documenting all findings, including vulnerabilities discovered, their potential impact, and recommended mitigation strategies. The report also included a prioritized list of vulnerabilities based on their severity.
