Social engineering is the process of leveraging the human aspect of a business in order to compromise security. The most common form of this is phishing. This involves tricking users via email into following a malicious link, downloading malware or submitting their credentials.
This is often the easiest way for a hacker to compromise a business. No matter how formidable your cyber security is, a member of staff can easily undo it all. In 2019, phishing attacks attempting to get ransomware into businesses had risen 109% from 2017.
Social engineering is a fancy term for what can often be a simple approach. How many times have you received an email that looks like the following?
Dear User, Your Outlook password is due to expire and requires resetting. Please follow this link to reset it. LINK Regards, IT Dept.
Dear User,
Your Outlook password is due to expire and requires resetting. Please follow this link to reset it.
LINK
Regards,
IT Dept.
That link will no doubt direct you to a malicious portal owned by hackers intent on getting your password and, if you clicked the link and reset your password, then they’ll have it. When booking a penetration test, many companies choose to include an element of social engineering in order to test their staff’s susceptibility to phishing.
Some important things to look out for is poor spelling and grammar, both in the body text and the email address.
Conducting social engineering prevention allows you to uncover the weaknesses in your social engineering defences. Learning from the results of a social engineering campaign shows you where you need to focus your remediation efforts. Along with good policies and procedures, employee education is typically seen as the best defence against social engineering – making regular staff training a must-have for any organisation.
Some hackers will craft targeted, bespoke campaigns against you, whilst others will adopt a blanket approach to catch business who are less prepared. With so many different tactics and techniques available to cyber criminals, regular social engineering prevention is the best way to stay protected.
Humans are often the weakest link in the cyber security chain. Even the tightest technical controls can be overcome by an employee who's been tricked by a hacker. By testing your staff against social engineering, you can learn from the results, spot where the biggest weaknesses are and educate staff to significantly improve your cyber security.
Hackers know the fastest way to compromise your security is to exploit a human being who sits behind it. No matter what technological defences you have in-place to keep hackers out, if a cyber criminal can convince a member of staff to click a malicious link through a cleverly crafted email, all your defences are bypassed. This is what makes social engineering prevention services so vital.
