The Human
Firewall
Technology is hard. People are soft targets. We harden the human element through advanced simulation and training.
Hacking the Human Mind
Social engineering isn't about code; it's about manipulation. Attackers exploit fundamental human traits to breach your defenses without writing a single exploit.

Learn how attackers bypass logic.
Multi-Channel
Attack Surface
Modern attackers don't just send emails. They coordinate strikes across email, voice, and SMS to overwhelm targets and bypass MFA. We simulate these advanced persistent threats (APTs) to test your human firewall.
Spear Phishing
ACTIVEHighly targeted email spoofing a known vendor. Uses OSINT to reference real invoices.
Vishing Attack
Voice solicitation using AI-cloned audio of C-suite executives to authorize transfers.
Smishing
SMS-based attack mimicking IT support MFA requests to bypass 2FA protections.
Physical Security Testing
Digital attacks often start with physical access. We test badge cloning, tailgating, and clean desk policies.

The Human Firewall ROI
Investing in your people is the most cost-effective security control you can implement.
Breaches Involving Human Error
The vast majority of cyber incidents start with a person, not a zero-day exploit.
Reduction in Phishing Susceptibility
After 12 months of continuous simulation and training with RadiumFox.
Average Cost of a Data Breach
The global average cost, which skyrockets when credentials are compromised.
Threat Landscape Trends
Key drivers necessitating advanced social engineering defense.
Rise of AI Phishing
Increase in sophisticated, AI-generated phishing emails that bypass traditional spam filters.
Credential Harvesting
Remains the top attack vector for initial access, often facilitated by social engineering.
BEC Losses
Business Email Compromise continues to cause massive financial loss globally.
Mobile Smishing
Shift towards SMS-based attacks as users trust mobile notifications more than email.
Test Every Vector
Our social engineering engagements are modular. Choose specific vectors or a full-scope "Red Team" simulation.
OSINT Reconnaissance
We scour the open web, dark web, and social media to build a comprehensive profile of your organization's digital footprint.

Field Reports
Real-world examples of how we've tested the human element.
CEO Fraud (BEC)
The Challenge
A wealth management firm wanted to test their resilience against Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks targeting wire transfers.
The Operation
We registered a look-alike domain and impersonated the CFO, requesting an urgent vendor payment of $450k. We used LinkedIn OSINT to reference a real ongoing project.
The Impact
The finance controller initiated the transfer process but was stopped by a secondary approval control we had recommended in a previous audit.
Data Center Physical Entry
The Challenge
A cloud provider needed to verify physical access controls at a new data center facility.
The Operation
Our team tailgated an employee through the smoking entrance and then used a 'cloned' badge (captured via long-range reader) to access the server floor.
The Impact
We planted a rogue device on the network. The client immediately upgraded their badge readers to support challenge-response encryption.
Tech Support Vishing
The Challenge
A hospital network wanted to test help desk verification procedures for password resets.
The Operation
We called the help desk posing as a frantic doctor in the ER who couldn't access patient records. We used background hospital noise to increase urgency.
The Impact
3 out of 5 help desk agents reset the password without following the mandatory callback verification procedure.
Don't Let Your People Be The Weakest Link
Technology can be patched. Human behavior must be trained. We provide the realistic simulation you need to build a true culture of security.
Strategic

Social Engineering FAQ
Everything you need to know about testing your human firewall.
Ethical Standards & Safety Protocols
Social engineering assessments are powerful tools, but they must be conducted with the highest ethical standards. At RadiumFox, we view ourselves as partners in your defense, not adversaries. Our methodology is designed to build trust, not break it.
We strictly adhere to pre-approved Rules of Engagement (RoE) to ensure no disruption to business operations and no personal distress to employees.
Strict Rules of Engagement
We operate under a legally binding RoE document that explicitly defines scope, authorized targets, and forbidden actions.
No-Harm Policy
Our tests are non-destructive. We never disrupt business operations, damage reputation, or cause personal distress to employees.
Data Anonymization
All collected data (e.g., clicked links, entered credentials) is immediately hashed or anonymized. We report on trends, not individuals.
Education First
The goal is to teach, not trick. 'Failed' tests result in immediate, constructive training moments (Teachable Moments) rather than punishment.
Legal Compliance
All operations are conducted in full compliance with local laws (e.g., CFAA in the US, GDPR in Europe). We require explicit written authorization from C-level stakeholders before commencing any social engineering activity.
