RED TEAM

Social Engineering

Go beyond conventional phishing exercises to explore the depths of how hackers can exploit your users, empowering you with insights to improve your security awareness program and related controls like email and file security.

The modular approach to red team services represented in four layers: Full knowledge, External Breach Red team, Social Engineering, and red team program build.

Impactful Insights to Evolve Your Strategy

Tailor-made to Your Objectives.

By forming an understanding of your challenges, requirements, and goals, Bishop Fox works with you to define a Red Team engagement that meets the specific needs of your organization. Unlike one-size-fits-all Red Team services, Bishop Fox offers a “building block” approach that can include a social engineering exercise with any combination of the Red Team service methodologies.
