INTERNAL THREATS & SOCIAL ENGINEERING
This course looks at the methods and tricks used by professional hackers to manipulate employees into giving away information. Intruders use certain methods to find loopholes in technical defences and surreptitiously gain entry to companies.
BACK TO SECURITY-TRAININGSTraining objectives & content
Information technology is used in so many different areas, and we have become so dependent on computers that we’ve unwittingly opened the door to new kinds of criminals and new kinds of aggressive intrusions. The threats faced by companies are no longer just sophisticated technical attacks from outside. Professional intruders now use attack vectors to cunningly manipulate company workers. To protect themselves from sophisticated attacks, companies need to be aware of the changing nature of threats and adapt their protective mechanisms accordingly.
The aim of this course is to provide participants with an overview of threats, how intruders operate and the tools and tricks they use. Course participants will be provided with the information they need to make effective and efficient decisions regarding protective measures. To demonstrate how attacks work in practice, the course focuses on social engineering attack vectors, also sharing measures that can be introduced to protect firms from such scenarios.
Whether its certification training you need or an individual workshop, you always benefit from the full advantages of our know-how. We will design the right training to match your needs, for you (individually) as an expert, or as an exclusive in-house course for your company. Our experts offer all courses in German and English.

Key areas
- The training begins with details of current intrusion statistics.
- Course participants will be introduced to different groups of attackers likely to present a threat to the security of companies and organisations. This allows you to gain a fundamental understanding of the principal people of threat and what motivates them.
- The problems and limitations of investigations by the authorities will be examined, as well as criminal prosecution.
- Participants will be shown the key goals of securing data protection and will be introduced to protection goals from the standpoint of intruders.
- Participants will learn the distinctions between external and internal perpetrators. You will look at different ways to deal with internal perpetrators (ERROR & FRAUD) and gain an overview of the methods used by professional attackers – so-called social engineering.
- Course participants will be shown the nature of social engineering and how it works. Actual examples of social engineering in practice will be used, including a discussion of protective measures.
- Tools and tricks will be introduced, looking at how they are used in connection with social engineering measures.
TARGET GROUP OF THE SOCIAL ENGINEERING COURSE
Managers, decision-makers and security officers
- who need comprehensive insights into threatening scenarios and defence strategies for dealing with internal threats
- who will be responsible for a company’s security measures
