Common Social Engineering Threats for Businesses
Social engineering attacks can be challenging to detect, as they exploit human behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities. RIT Company helps businesses address common social engineering threats with tailored security solutions:
Phishing and Spear Phishing Attacks
Phishing and spear phishing are among the most common social engineering tactics. Attackers use deceptive emails or messages to trick employees into revealing sensitive information. Our Cybersecurity Services include email filtering, employee training, and phishing simulations to help prevent successful attacks.
Pretexting and Impersonation
Impersonation attacks involve attackers posing as trusted contacts, such as coworkers or vendors, to gain information. We provide awareness training and access management tools to ensure your team can verify the identity of individuals before sharing sensitive information.
Baiting and Physical Social Engineering
Baiting involves enticing individuals to interact with malicious files or devices. Our training programs teach employees to recognize these tactics and avoid compromising their devices and data.
Tailgating and Unauthorized Access
Tailgating occurs when unauthorized individuals gain physical access to secure areas by following authorized personnel. We implement network and physical security policies to reduce the risk of unauthorized access and train employees on proper access procedures.
Vishing and Phone-Based Scams
Vishing, or voice phishing, uses phone calls to trick employees into providing sensitive information. Our VoIP Phone Systems and training programs help employees recognize these phone-based threats and respond securely.

What are Social Engineering Solutions, and why are they important?
