Ransomware Testing

Ransomware Testing is a process of evaluating organization’s security systems against the potential ransomware attacks. This method involves simulating ransomware attacks to identify vulnerabilities and evaluate organizational abilities in detecting, preventing, and restoring data from the attacks. Ransomware is kind of a malware that encrypts data and asks for a ransom for a decryption key, so it’s important for the company to ensure their readiness in the face of this threat.

Process of Digital Forensic & Incident Response​

Process of Ransomware Testing:

Continuous Monitoring and Incident Response

1. Preparation and Initial Assessment

We started by doing deep analysis of the client’s IT infrastructure, including an assessment of security policy and identifying potential vulnerabilities. This includes interviews with the IT team and the security documentation evaluation.

Penetration Testing Execution

2. Attack Simulation and Testing

After the initial assessment, we did a simulation of ransomware attacks to test the survival of the client system. It includes testing various attack methods to evaluate response and detection skills and recovery of IT security teams.

Reporting and Remediation

3. Report and Recommendation

After the simulation, we put together a comprehensive report that detailed the findings, the vulnerabilities that are identified, and the recommendations to increase defense against ransomware attacks. We also provide training sessions for client teams to raise their security awareness and readiness.

Why are Ransomware Testing Important?

Benefit of Ransomware Testing:

Entirely Identification
Help identify a weak point in a system that can be used by the attackers.
Incident Response Upgrade:
Increasing the IT team's ability to respond to the ransomware incident effectively.
Security Consciousness
Increasing security awareness among employees and building a stronger security culture.
Reconnaissance
Gathering information about XYZ Corporation's network and systems using publicly available sources and techniques like DNS enumeration, network scanning, and social engineering.
Vulnerability Assessment
Conducting automated vulnerability scans using industry-standard tools to identify known vulnerabilities in network devices and web applications.
Exploitation
Attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to the network or compromise web applications. This involved leveraging both automated and manual techniques.
Post-Exploitation
Assessing the extent of access gained during the exploitation phase and attempting to escalate privileges or move laterally within the network to assess the impact of a potential breach.
Reporting
Documenting all findings, including vulnerabilities discovered, their potential impact, and recommended mitigation strategies. The report also included a prioritized list of vulnerabilities based on their severity.
