Your Weakest Link Is Human. We Train Them With Real Attacks.
Social Engineering Simulation tests the human layer of your security — your employees' ability to recognise and resist manipulation attempts including phishing emails, vishing (voice phishing) calls, pretexting scenarios, and physical social engineering attempts.
No matter how strong your technical controls are, a single employee clicking a phishing link or sharing credentials over the phone can bypass every firewall, every antivirus solution, and every access control in your organisation. Social engineering is the primary initial access method used in over 80% of successful cyber attacks.
Verentix designs and executes realistic social engineering campaigns tailored to your organisation — using the same techniques that real attackers use when targeting Indian companies. This is not generic phishing with obvious spelling mistakes; these are targeted, contextually relevant campaigns that test whether your team would fall for a real attack.
Indian employees face unique social engineering threats. Tax season phishing using fake Income Tax Department notices. Job scam emails targeting the Indian IT workforce. UPI payment request scams. Fake RBI or CERT-In compliance notices. Vendor impersonation targeting finance teams with modified bank details for payments.
Our phishing simulations for Indian companies typically achieve a 25-35% click rate on first assessment — meaning one in three employees interacts with a simulated phishing email. For vishing (phone-based) attacks, success rates are even higher — 40-50% of targeted employees will share some sensitive information over the phone when the caller uses a convincing pretext.
These are not theoretical risks. These are the actual success rates we measure when testing Indian organisations. Every employee who falls for a simulated attack would have fallen for a real one.
Every Social Engineering Simulation engagement with Verentix delivers concrete, actionable outcomes:
Reconnaissance (Week 1): We gather publicly available information about your organisation — employee names, roles, email formats, technology stack, and current events — the same information a real attacker would use to craft targeted campaigns.
A financial services firm in Mumbai had a 38% click rate on our initial phishing campaign — using a fake 'IT helpdesk password reset' email. After targeted training based on our findings, the click rate dropped to 8% in the follow-up assessment 3 months later, and the phishing reporting rate increased from 5% to 45%.
A technology company in Pune's finance team fell for a vishing attack where our operator called posing as a vendor requesting bank detail updates for payments. 3 out of 5 targeted employees provided the current vendor bank details without verification. This exact technique is used in real Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks costing Indian companies crores annually.
An Indian enterprise's security awareness programme was redesigned entirely based on our social engineering assessment results — shifting from generic annual training to monthly targeted simulations with role-specific scenarios.
