What is Social Engineering?

Simulate Social Engineering attacks to keep your staff and data safe.

Organizations often invest a large portion of their security budget in technology, making it the most difficult to crack. The only question is, how do we reduce attacks on our people and processes? The answer is not far-fetched - Social Engineering tests ensure that your employees are aware of the latest tools and tricks that hackers can use against them.

How exactly does this work? Warpnet's Social Engineering services include various techniques that a malicious person can use against your personnel. And make no mistake about the importance of awareness around Social Engineering, a security incident costs a company in the Netherlands on average €270.000. Suffice it to say, then, that Security Awareness should not be an afterthought.
