Social Engineering
Social engineering is used for a broad range of malicious activities accomplished through human interactions. Employees can facilitate attacks if not tested and trained to spot incidents even with the best technical control measures.

Social Engineering
Regular phishing emails are common within workplaces to try and keep staff aware of threats. However, they are not only one part of the solution. Successful social engineering attempts are one of the most common methods attackers use to achieve system compromise. There are a variety of common vectors, including email and voice calls.
Cybaverse Red Team consultants are well trained and proficient at imitating real-life threats and can help identify weaknesses, whether in employee training or technical controls. An advanced social engineering exercise allows you to assess the maturity of the security of your business.
Testing can include but is not limited to:
Phishing - One we are all familiar with, these are email-based solicitations designed to lure a person into doing something for an attacker. For example, installing a remote agent. More targeted forms of this attack are spear-phishing and often utilised as a part of an advanced social engineering engagement.
Vishing - This is the voice variant of phishing and takes place over the phone. When was the last time this was tested on your organisation? Often employees are aware of Phishing emails, but could they be susceptible to someone imitating a member of the IT department or a third party requesting they install updates?
Tailgating - Tailgating is one of the most common types of physical social engineering. Physical social engineering often intends to introduce something malicious into a building. Tailgating is the act of waiting for an authorised person to access a restricted area and following them to gain unauthorised access.

This phase helps obtain information about available services, potential versions of the services and get a general understanding of the environment that will be tested.
Using all of the information gathered in the reconnaissance phase, Cybaverse will determine where the potential risk of exploitation lies and create a plan to verify those findings.
During this phase, and as agreed with the client in the pre-engagement phase Cybaverse will attempt to exploit any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations identified in the previous phases to confirm that the risk exists.
Depending on the agreed approach for exploitation, Cybaverse may also attempt to gain further access from the compromised host(s) further into the client’s network or attempt to obtain sensitive information.
As with all of Cybaverses services, we will provide detailed expert advice in our report to help align your infrastructure with industry best practice security standards.
As far as is possible, the systems tested will be returned to their pre-test state to remove any uploaded files or elevated accounts that were created if appropriate and desired by the customer.
