Strengthen Security with Social Engineering

A social engineering tests and improves how employees respond to deception based attacks such as phishing, impersonation, and pretexting.

This test provides visibility into employee behavior and reinforces awareness through controlled simulations.

This program strengthens your organization’s ability to: :

  • Recognize and respond to suspicious communications
  • Encourage and train security reporting
  • Track awareness and behavior improvements
  • Align security policies to employee behavior

Improve Your Organization's Security

Social engineering combines testing, measurement, and reinforcement to improve how employees recognize and respond to deception-based attacks. Each program is structured based on your organization’s risk profile, communication patterns, and objectives.

Phishing Simulations 

Realistic email scenarios used to evaluate how employees identify and respond to suspicious messages. 

Targeted Scenarios 

Simulations tailored to specific situations that reflect how attackers approach employees.

Behavior Tracking 

Monitors employee actions, including engagement and reporting of suspicious activity.

Analysis and Reporting 

Delivers insights that highlight patterns and areas requiring attention. 

Awareness Improvement

Identifies oppotunities to improve employee awareness and response to suspicious activity.

Social Engineering Process

2
Scenarios

Selects relevant scenarios based on how social engineering attacks are typically carried out. 

 

3
Test

Conducts controlled simulations to evaluate how employees respond to suspicious activity. 

 

4
Measure

Tracks employee actions, including engagement and reporting of potential threats. 

5
Report

Delivers clear findings that identify behaviors and highlight areas requiring attention.

Why Sera Brynn for Social Engineering

Tests are delivered by certified professionals with experience in how social engineering attacks are carried out and evaluated. 

The test is designed to track behavior over time, providing visibility into whether human risk is being reduced. 

Tests are informed by work in environments where security expectations are defined and enforced. 

The test reinforces awareness and strengthening employee response through continous execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Social engineering tests and improves how employees respond to deception based attacks such as phishing, impersonation, and pretexting. It focuses on reducing human-related security risks.

Typically includes phishing simulations, targeted messaging scenarios, and other controlled techniques designed to evaluate how employees respond to real world social engineering attempts.

This is defined during design phase. Some organizations choose announced simulations, while others use controlled, unannounced testing to better reflect real world conditions.

Frequency is determined based on your organization’s goals and risk profile. Testing is typically performed at regular intervals to measure improvement.

No. Social Engineering complements awareness training by measuring effectiveness and identifying where additional reinforcement may be needed.
