Details

The main goal of this project is to asses and test security measures for the protection of Sofvie's data. While we do run annual penetration tests, we would like to also test the awareness and cybersecurity proficiency of our client facing employees.

We would like the student group to try various social engineering and phishing methods to attempt to gain access to our private / protected data.

Deliverables

This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:


  • Analyzing the existing security measures of Sofvie Inc. and create / offer suggestions for our security policy
  • Plan for and run tests using social engineering as the point of focus
  • Researching other security measures that can be implemented
  • Review the process for vulnerability testing and help develop any best proactive policies to keep up with the current cybersecurity landscape 
Mentorship

A walk through of the product, mentorship time with our engineering team and overall supervision. Weekly alignment and feedback meetings. Ad-hoc communication through email and group chat.
