Social engineering attackers are very effective at breaking into your organisation. In fact, 80% of all successful cyber-attacks have a social engineering element to them. Many businesses focus on protecting systems with complex and expensive technological solutions but fail to protect the weakest element - human nature.

Social engineers take advantage of the human tendency to trust and use this to gain information and access to our most confidential and secure systems. The damage caused by social engineering attacks can be devastating, expensive and result in huge litigation costs as well as severe reputational damage.
