      Social engineering attacks target the weakest link in an organization's security human beings. Everyone knows these attacks are effective, and everyone knows they are on the rise. Now, Social Engineering Penetration Testing gives you the practical methodology and everything you need to plan and execute a social engineering penetration test and assessment. You will gain fascinating insights into how social engineering techniques including email phishing, telephone pretexting, and physical vectors can be used to elicit information or manipulate individuals into performing actions that may aid in an attack. Using the book's easy-to-understand models and examples, you will have a much better understanding of how best to defend against these attacks. The authors of Social Engineering Penetration Testing show you hands-on techniques they have used at RandomStorm to provide clients with valuable results that make a real difference to the security of their businesses. You will learn about the differences between social engineering pen tests lasting anywhere from a few days to several months. The book shows you how to use widely available open-source tools to conduct your pen tests, then walks you through the practical steps to improve defense measures in response to test results.

      How to Defeat Advanced Malware is a concise introduction to the concept of micro-virtualization... The book provides current facts and figures that prove detection- based security products have become ineffective. A simple strategy is then presented that both leverages the opportunities presented by Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and protects enterprise end users against advanced malware. The book concludes with case studies demonstrating how hardware- isolated micro-VMs are helping Fortune 500 financial service providers defeat advanced malware. This book is primarily designed for infosec professionals, consultants, network administrators, CIO’s, CTO’s, CISO’s and senior executives who work within the financial industry and are responsible for their company’s endpoint protection. How to Defeat Advanced Malware: New Tools for Protection and Forensics is the first book to compare and contrast current endpoint security products, while making a case for encouraging and facilitating the growth of BYOD and social media by adopting micro-virtualization...
