A Review On Adapting Social Engineering Services—Aardwolf Security
                     A Review On Adapting Social
Engineering Services
To counter the threat of social engineering, Sprint Infinity offers a culture of security awareness. 
We implement multi-layered security measures for effective social engineering services and 
continuously adopt the best strategies.
What is Social Engineering?
Social engineering attacks follow a specific pattern: collecting background information of the
victim about the victim, gaining their trust, and provoking them into taking an action that 
breaks security protocol.
Organizations that are most at risk for social engineering attacks are those with high levels 
of access to sensitive data or systems, such as healthcare organizations, financial 
institutions, and government agencies. However, any organization can be a target, and 
even the smallest companies can fall victim to a well-executed attack.
Commonly Used Social Engineering Techniques?
There are several social engineering techniques that are used to obtain sensitive 
information or gain access to restricted areas. Some of the most common methods include:
Pretexting
This type of technique might involve posing as a customer service representative and 
asking for account details or claiming to be from a research firm and conducting a survey.
Baiting
Leaving malware-infected media (such as USB sticks or CDs) in public places or sending 
email attachments that appear to be benign but are actually malicious. Once someone 
takes the bait and plugs in the USB stick or opens the attachment, their system becomes 
infected with malware.
How to Protect from Social Engineering Attacks?
1. Be aware of social engineering attacks and how they work.
2. Do not give out personal information unless you are sure you are dealing with a 
legitimate organization or person.
3. Be suspicious of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or visitors. Do not open 
attachments or links from unknown sources.
4. Verify the identity of someone who contacts you before providing any personal 
information or access to systems.
5. Keep your anti-virus and anti-malware software up to date and run regular scans on 
your computer.
6. Report any suspicious activity or attempts to gain personal information to your IT 
department or security team.
What is a Social Engineering Assessment?
A social engineering assessment is a type of security testing that is used to assess the 
vulnerabilities of an organization to attacks that exploit human factors.
Social engineering penetration testing can be essential to an overall security program. This 
type of testing can help organizations identify and mitigate the risks associated with social 
engineering attacks.
Our social engineering penetration testing team follows these steps:
● Define the scope of the project.
● Identify the attack medium (e.g., phone call, email).
● Performing the penetration test
● Document findings and prepare a report detailing what we discovered.
● Offer insights on how to improve your organization’s overall security program.
How long does it take to perform a social engineering 
assessment?
There are numerous factors that influence the scoping of a social engineering assessment, 
such as:
● The size of the company
● Whether the client requires phishing, telephone, or physical social engineering
● The number of members within a company
How much is a social engineering assessment?
A social engineering assessment cost is calculated by the number of days a penetration 
tester will take to fulfill the agreed scope. The number of days can be determined by filling 
out our penetration testing scoping form or by messaging us through our contact form 
to arrange a scoping call with one of our senior penetration testers.
