Social Engineering

Employees can pose the greatest risk to your most important assets. Testers can help protect your organization's assets by testing your security posture and controls through a series of different social engineering campaigns.

Social Engineering

Know Your Human Risk

Continuous validation of how real attackers exploit people, not just systems.

Phishing Campaigns

Over 90% of successful breaches begin with phishing. Sprocket designs highly targeted phishing campaigns that emulate real-world attacker techniques by identifying the exact third-party services, intranet tools, and platforms your users interact with daily exposing human-layer vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Alternative Social Engineering

Sprocket testers execute voice, SMS, chat, watering hole, and in-person social engineering campaigns using real-world trends and lures to simulate how modern breaches bypass traditional defenses.

Strengthen Your Teams

The Sprocket Portal provides real-time visibility into live social engineering campaigns, enabling teams to collaborate during attacks while leadership gains access to exportable, executive-ready reports for continuous improvement.

Social Engineering Tactics

Real-world social engineering tactics used by modern threat actors..

CONTINUOUS TESTING

Phishing

The foundation of most modern breaches.

Attackers impersonate trusted entities using emails, cloned websites, and malicious links to trick users into revealing credentials and granting initial network access.

Vishing

Voice-based deception for high-impact compromise.

Threat actors impersonate executives, vendors, or IT staff using calls or voice messages to manipulate employees into disclosing sensitive data.

Smishing

SMS-driven attacks that bypass traditional email defenses.

Malicious text messages deliver links or callback numbers that lead to credential theft, malware delivery, or additional social engineering attacks.

Quid Pro Quo

Access exchanged for perceived value.

Attackers offer tech support or assistance in exchange for credentials or device access, exploiting trust and urgency.

Pretexting

False identities used to bypass trust.

Threat actors fabricate believable scenarios and roles, such as IT or vendors, to persuade employees to grant access to critical systems.

Watering Hole Attacks

Compromising the tools your team already trusts.

Frequently visited websites and internal tools are seeded with malicious content to silently capture credentials and sensitive information.

PENTESTING

Hear from three of Sprocket's expert testers - Nick Berrie, Nick Aures, and Nate Fair - as they share why continuous security testing outperforms traditional, point-in-time pentesting. They break down how a continuous model uncovers real risk faster, more accurately, and with far greater impact.
