The Spy in Your Server Room

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the social-engineering-for-fun-and-profit dept.

CorinneI writes "Your business's private information may not be as safe as you think — especially when you take into account how many people pass through your office's revolving door on a daily basis. That's why many companies hire TraceSecurity employees to test the security of their systems — operations that usually involve TraceSecurity personnel talking their way into offices in order to gain access to server rooms and sensitive customer information. PC Magazine was invited along to cover a recent TraceSecurity operation."

      According to TraceSecurity, advertisements on Slashdot often masquerade as articles. That's why many Slashdot members hire TraceSecurity to validate their contents before reading them. This message brought to you by TraceSecurity: Tracing your Security so that you can be secure in the knowledge that your Security is Traced.

    This summary could have conveyed all the necessary information quite easily and been just as valid by replacing "TraceSecurity" with the more generic "penetration testing company". Enjoy your plug guys!
