Why Ransomware Simulation?

Ransomware is a constant threat, and businesses need to be prepared. A ransomware simulation is like a fire drill for your IT infrastructure. It tests your defenses and exposes weaknesses before a real attack strikes. Here’s why you should consider a ransomware simulation

Cost-Effective Preparation

Investing in a simulation is significantly cheaper than recovering from a real ransomware attack.

Methodology

Fundamentally dark web monitoring is divided into a 4 step process:

initial-assessment

Planning Phase

  • Define the purpose of the simulation, such as assessing security controls or evaluating response procedures
  • Determine which systems or networks or environments will be tested and what types of scenarios will be simulated.
  • Obtain necessary approvals and document the testing plan, including objectives, scope, and procedures
initial-assessment

Execution Phase

  • Simulate the attack vectors that are used by abusing different weak misconfigurations using benign tools or scripts to mimic the behavior of real ransomware
  • Collaborate and Monitor the behavior of the simulated attack to see how security controls and teams respond.
  • Assess the effectiveness of detection, containment, and recovery measures in mitigating the simulated attack
initial-assessment

Analysis Phase

  • Analyze the results of the testing to identify weaknesses, vulnerabilities, or gaps in security defenses
  • Extract lessons learned from the testing to improve security posture and response capabilities
  • Develop recommendations for addressing identified issues and improving overall resilience to ransomware threats
initial-assessment

Reporting Phase

  • Document the findings, recommendations, and improvements in a concise report
  • Communicate the results of the testing to relevant stakeholders, including management, IT teams, and employees.

Frequently Asked Questions

A ransomware simulation is a controlled exercise that mimics a real-world ransomware attack on your IT infrastructure. It tests your security measures, exposes vulnerabilities, and helps train your team on how to respond effectively.
Digital Defence can customize the simulation to mirror various attack vectors, including phishing emails, malware downloads, and network vulnerabilities.
No. We use a safe, isolated environment to simulate the attack, ensuring no disruption to your critical operations or data.
Regular simulations are key. We recommend running them at least annually or after major security changes.
Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll tailor a simulation plan to meet your specific business needs.
