Offensive Security

Ransomware Readiness.

Know exactly how your defenses hold up before ransomware ever strikes. Built in house by our own incident responders.

The assessment

Three ways we pressure-test your defenses.

A readiness assessment, a live simulation, and an impact map, run by the same incident responders who handle the real thing.

Readiness Assessment

Create a comprehensive view of your risk posture for ransomware attacks.

How it works

We interview key IT personnel and review documentation, policies, and configurations. After information capture, we identify the deficiencies in IT governance, operating procedures, and technical controls that would hinder your ransomware defenses or recovery.

Simulation

Evaluate whether your controls can detect and prevent a zero-day ransomware variant.

How it works

Using a custom SEVN-X ransomware simulator and traditional pen testing techniques, we deploy a binary that encrypts files in a specified directory without spreading beyond it. Encrypted files carry extensions that mimic real-world ransomware, and the key is sent to a SEVN-X controlled server. It targets on-premises file servers or cloud storage like OneDrive and Google Drive through cloud connectors.

Impact Mapping

Map the potential impact, the blast zone, of a ransomware infection.

How it works

Network shares are mapped against different user bases (domain user, business analyst, server admin, and so on) to scope the potential spread and produce a list of the data sources that could be compromised under each scenario.

And the winner is

Ransomware still tops the charts. Again.

It keeps morphing, mutating, and evolving as detection and prevention improve but lag behind. Double and triple extortion are now commonplace, so detecting external file transfers, rapid disk reads and writes, and unauthorized access is what stops it. There is no silver bullet to buy yet, so we built a readiness assessment to show you exactly where you stand on detecting, responding to, and recovering from an attack.

Very glad we reached out for our comprehensive pen testing. Not only did Eric and team perform detailed testing, they provided up-to-date feedback and assisted us with recommendations after testing. We really appreciate the partnership and will grow our relationship even further in 2025 and beyond.

The SEVN-X approach to penetration testing is unlike anything I have encountered in the past. Their innovative approach and deep skillsets not only reveal technology problems but also uncover people and process related problems. I consider our company more secure having partnered with SEVN-X.
