Managing Social Engineering Risk


This thesis is the end result of the graduation project with the title ‘Managing social engineering risk’ and subtitle ‘Making social engineering transparent’. This research project focuses on social engineering in organizations and addresses the following questions; what is social engineering and who is this social engineer, what are the threats to organizations, how can these threats be identified and which countermeasures can be taken to mitigate the risk of social engineering?


The answers to these questions will lead to a social engineering risk management model to make the risks of social engineering more transparent and help organizations implement mitigating controls against social engineering.

A frequently overlooked factor in information security is the human, and more specifically the manipulation of a person to compromise information security. This thesis focuses on making the risks of this ‘social engineering’ transparent. And helping organizations manage these risks through a social engineering risk management model.

The research consists of:

* Elaborate theoretical research on social engineering and related subjects.
* Qualitative empirical research verifying the theory, generating comments on a preliminary social engineering risk management model and requirements for the final model.
* The proposal of a social engineering risk management model.
* Conclusions and recommendations.

Web Hacking 101

With a Foreword written by HackerOne Co-Founders Michiel Prins and Jobert Abma, Web Hacking 101 is about the ethical exploration of software for security issues but learning to hack isn't always easy. With few exceptions, existing books are overly technical, only dedicate a single chapter to website vulnerabilities or don't include any real world examples. This book is different. Using publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, Web Hacking 101 explains common web vulnerabilities and will show you how to start finding vulnerabilities and collecting bounties.

Hack-X-Crypt (By Ujjwal Sahay)

This is basically a straight forward guide towards ethical hacking and cyber security.Computer hacking is the practice of altering computer hardware and software to carry out a goal outside of the creator‘s original intention. People who slot in computer hacking actions and activities are often entitled as hackers. The majority of people assume that hackers are computer criminals. They fall short to identify the fact that criminals and hackers are two entirely unrelated things.
