I spent part of my summer pretending to be someone else. Complete with lanyard, out-of-date visitor badge and a pack of cigarettes, my character joined the pack outside the smokers’ area of an office building. When someone came out, I bluffed my way in, claiming I’d left my wallet inside. 

The process of shoring up company networks is becoming more complicated as security threats change and evolve. With this in mind, security specialists recommend placing more emphasis on penetration testing as a means of guarding against socially engineered attacks.
