Attackers know that people are often the easiest way into an organisation. Social engineering bypasses technical controls by exploiting human trust, distraction, or pressure. A convincing email, a persuasive phone call, or a confident intruder at the door can achieve what malware cannot — immediate access to sensitive systems or facilities.
Parabellum offers phishing, vishing, and physical intrusion exercises as stand-alone services, or combined into a coordinated campaign that mirrors the tactics of real-world adversaries. Each test is tailored to your risk profile and operational environment, with findings presented alongside actionable recommendations.
Phishing
• Simulate malicious email campaigns that test how employees respond to credential harvesting, malware delivery, or unsafe actions.
• Targeted spear-phishing exercises can be tailored to executives and high-value staff.
Vishing
• Conduct controlled phone-based impersonation attempts, posing as suppliers, IT support, or internal staff.
• Evaluate how employees handle pressure, validate processes for escalation, and measure awareness in action.
Physical Intrusion
• Simulate real-world attempts to bypass facility security through tailgating, impersonation, or rogue device placement.
• Assess both physical controls and staff vigilance, ensuring operational resilience against intruders.
Each exercise is carried out safely and discreetly, with findings presented alongside evidence and prioritised recommendations. The outcome is clarity on where human defences succeed, where they fail, and how to strengthen awareness and response.
