Social Engineering Testing
We have to face the hard truth: our users can be our greatest weakness when it comes to security. Over 70% of all data breaches start with a Social Engineering attack. These attacks can vary in scope and tactics, but the most common one is a Spear Phishing attack. This type of attack sees a hacker creating a targeted email to an organization, or even specific users, in order to gain sensitive information that furthers their attack. Why is that percentage so high? Because users keep falling for it. We want to help your organization find a better approach. JSCM Group studies how these attacks are performed, why they’re successful, and uses that to your advantage. And it all starts with a test.
What Makes Our Tests Special?
There’s plenty of services out there that will perform a Phishing Test on your network. They create automated messages that you can send out to the users on your network and see if they click a link. Do you see the problem? Automation doesn’t work. Spear Phishing attacks are targeted and run by an actual attacker or group of attackers looking to break into a network. There’s no creativity or interactivity with the user when you’re dealing with a service like this. That, in the end, means you don’t really have an understanding of how vulnerable your organization actually is.
Our Spear Phishing Tests are completely run by our White Hat Hackers. We work with you to create a custom a Spear Phishing Email that we send out to your users. You chose who you want us to target. Whether that’s C-Level only, a specific department, or even all of the users, we tailor your test to your needs. Then, we don’t just send the email and be done. We interact with users to try and get them to click a link or provide confidential information. If we are able to get information out of them, we then see how that could be used to further compromise your organization by providing you a scenario of attack.
What Next?
There’s no technical way to fully prevent a Social Engineering attack, which is what makes them so dangerous. The only way to protect against phishing is for your users to be aware of them and know how to spot them. Our reports provide you with the data on percentage of users who clicked a link, responded to an email, or gave up confidential information. Then, we show you what tactics we used and how to spot them in the future, allowing you to educate your users. At the end of the day, phishing testing is all about helping you protect your valuable information.
