LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Social-Engineer, LLC (SECOM)1, a renowned information security firm, announces a historical State of Vishing Report set to take place on April 10, 2023. The study is a first and seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the threat landscape, vulnerability, protective factors, and future directions for the industry as well as provide data-driven responses to all questions and concerns about vishing. According to Social-Engineer, LLC, vishing is "the practice of eliciting information or attempting to influence action via the telephone. Vishing, also known as voice phishing, is a dangerous attack vector." In 2021 alone, TrueCaller reports that Americans lost $29,800,000.00 to phone scams, states Social-Engineer, LLC. Only now has a significant amount of information become available. Vishing is a serious threat to the security and safety of the personal data of individuals, as well as corporations and government entities, informs Social-Engineer, LLC. It "is one of the largest attack vectors being used by malicious scammers and social engineers across the globe," says the organization. To help put an end to the threat of vishing, Social-Engineer, LLC has accumulated a vast amount of data to analyze the problem and find a solution.
“No one has yet been able to analyze and provide data-driven analytics on this threat and how to defend against it to the same quality or quantity as we have,” says Social-Engineer, LLC.
Social-Engineer, LLC was started by Christopher Hadnagy about 20 years ago. The company specializes in the art, science, and psychology of social engineering. They aim to become the world's premier social engineering testing and education resource founded on ethics and science. They focus on human-based social engineering attacks.
"We conduct the simulated attacks and provide detailed, actionable metrics on the behavior of your targeted staff," according to Social-Engineer, LLC.
“We go to great lengths to ensure our work is as real-world as possible yet collected according to rigorous ethical standards. We then use the results of our work to build educational resources for organizations that want to stay safe,” explains Social-Engineer, LLC.
Never before has there been this much data to analyze. The report will be "a first for the company and the world," Social- Engineer, LLC states. Banks, startups, tech firms, pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors, and many other organizations have contracted the firm to do mock vishing (voice phishing) calls for them. At over 100,000 vishing calls, SECOM has the world's largest dataset.
"We used a scientific researcher with a Ph.D. in behavioral psychology to help us analyze and prepare the data and report," informs Social-Engineer, LLC.
