Main vectors of attacks employing social engineering and how TrueBust minimises them.
CEO Fraud
CEO fraud is a type of cybercrime where attackers impersonate a company’s CEO or senior executive to trick employees into transferring money or sensitive information.
TrueBust protects against CEO fraud by using its Request-Verification-System (RVS) to verify the authenticity of any requests in real time. This system allows employees to confirm the legitimacy of phone calls, video calls or messages from executives or external sources.
BEC Fraud
Business Email Compromise fraud is a sort of cybercrime in which attackers imitate business executives or trusted entities in order to deceive employees into transferring money or sensitive information, typically over email.

Employees can verify emails and messages from executives or external contacts, ensuring that any suspicious requests for money transfers or sensitive information are checked before action is taken.
Ransomware via social engineering
Ransomware via social engineering is a cyberattack in which attackers deceive victims into opening dangerous attachments or clicking on links in convincing emails or texts. Once executed, the ransomware encrypts the victim’s files and demands a fee to decrypt them. This strategy uses human trust and curiosity to get beyond security systems.
TrueBust protects against ransomware by using its Request-Verification-System (RVS) to verify emails and messages in real-time, preventing employees from opening malicious attachments or links that could install ransomware. This verification reduces the risk of social engineering attacks that lead to ransomware infections.
Data breach via social engineering
Social engineering data breaches occur when attackers manipulate individuals into disclosing confidential information, such as login passwords or personal data. This is accomplished by false emails, phone calls, or messages that appear authentic, tricking victims into providing access to critical information or systems, resulting in unauthorized access and data theft.
TrueBust protects against data breaches via social engineering by using its Request-Verification-System (RVS) to verify the authenticity of emails, messages, and requests in real time. This helps employees identify and avoid phishing attempts and other deceptive tactics used to extract sensitive information, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data thef
Phishing via social engineering
Phishing via social engineering is attackers sending fake emails, texts, or websites to deceive others into exposing sensitive information, such as passwords or login credentials. The messages frequently appear to come from reliable sources, leading users to click on false links or download potentially dangerous attachments..
TrueBust protects against phishing by using its Request-Verification-System (RVS) to authenticate the legitimacy of emails and messages in real-time. This helps employees identify and avoid clicking on malicious links or downloading harmful attachments, effectively reducing the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks.
