Social Engineering and IT Security Incident Response

As additional background, read the following two articles:
Alzahrani, A., & Khaki, R. (2016). Information security issues and threats in Saudi Arabia: A research survey. IJCSI International Journal of Computer Science Issues. 13(6).
Peters, S. (2015). The 7 best social engineering attacks ever. Retrieved from http://www.darkreading.com/the-7-best-social-engineering-attacks-ever/d/d-id/1319411
In analysis, highlight and share an experiment that you might utilize to perform a social engineering attack on a Saudi company. Discuss what methods and weaknesses you would use to exploit the employees or family members of employees to try and gain positive access and/or control. Include any additional recommendations to the company/employees to protect against such exploitation.
