Countermeasures to Social Engineering

The biggest countermeasure to social engineering is to inform the public. Keep your customers and employees aware of what official communication from the company looks like. People should become wary of anyone who asks for login information and other key bits of info.

Compromising Physical Security Flaws

Physical security is actually a vital part of information security. Hackers can eventually find access to one of your computers. They can’t get past your company’s firewall but they can install a hardware or software within your network inside your firewall by simply walking in the door and connecting a device into one of your employee’s computers.

Smaller companies that have few employees will have very little to worry about. These employees usually don’t allow a stranger to use their computers. Larger companies have a bigger problem – they have more employees, more computer hardware, and plenty of other access points that hackers can use.

Hackers may not always want to just install a piece of hardware and have a point of entry from the inside. They may just need to access a computer, steal some important documents, or grab anything that seems to contain some vital information. They will usually have an alibi when asked. They will try to enter a building through any door including outside smoking areas where employees go to, cafeteria doors, fire escapes, or any entry point that is available. They may even just tailgate employees reentering a building and all they need to say to get in is “thank you for keeping the door open.”
