What is Social Engineering Penetration Testing : Executing Social Engineering Pen Tests, Assessments and Defense about?
Social engineering attacks target the weakest link in an organization's security-human beings. Everyone knows these attacks are effective, and everyone knows they are on the rise. Now, __Social Engineering Penetration Testing__ gives you the practical methodology and everything you need to plan and execute a social engineering penetration test and assessment. You will gain fascinating insights into how social engineering techniques-including email phishing, telephone pretexting, and physical vectors- can be used to elicit information or manipulate individuals into performing actions that may aid in an attack. Using the book's easy-to-understand models and examples, you will have a much better understanding of how best to defend against these attacks. The authors of __Social Engineering Penetration Testing__ show you hands-on techniques they have used at RandomStorm to provide clients with valuable results that make a real difference to the security of their businesses. You will learn about the differences between social engineering pen tests lasting anywhere from a few days to several months.
