Service Highlights
Threat‑Aligned Ransomware Pentest
Packetlabs delivers a deep‑dive, manual assessment across every asset, then overlays the exact tactics and kill‑chains used by today’s ransomware operators, including but not limited to: credential theft, lateral AD abuse, pivot, and privilege escalation techniques. The result is a step‑by‑step storyline that shows where attackers would strike and the precise fixes that shut them down before they cash in.
The Packetlabs Difference
Technical and Non-Technical Checks
Our two-pronged approach including both technical and non-technical checks works to save your organization up to millions of dollars in ransomware-related financial and reputational damages.
Beyond Automated Testing
While automated scanners scrape the surface, Packetlabs’ expert-led penetration tests probe the logic, business workflows, and chained exploits that scanners routinely overlook. Leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral thinking, our team exposes high-impact vulnerabilities competitors miss and translates them into clear, fix-ready guidance. The result is a much higher assurance level than conventional "smash-and-grab" pentests that help you sleep better at night.
Continuous Improvement
Threat actors innovate every day, so our playbook can’t stand still. After each engagement, our testers feed the latest exploit paths, red-team lessons, and threat-intel insights back into our proprietary checklists and methodologies, evolving them in real time. When we arrive at your environment, you’re protected by a continuously improved framework that already accounts for the newest tactics most competitors won’t confront until next year.
In-Depth Methodologies
Our Penetration Testing methodology is derived from the SANS Pentest Methodology, the MITRE ATT&CK framework for enterprises, and NIST SP800-115 to ensure compliance with the majority of regulatory requirements. This methodology is comprehensive and has been broken up based on which areas can be tested with automation and those which require extensive manual testing.
Why Conduct Ransomware Penetration Testing?
Identify the Impact of Ransomware Attacks
We understand the potential impacts on a business if a ransomware attack were to occur. Our comprehensive testing helps identify weaknesses in your current security controls.
Detect Gaps in Policies, Processes, and People
Beyond thorough testing, we schedule meetings with stakeholders to identify gaps in policies, standards, and procedures.
Ensure That Backups Are Uncompromisable
Both data protection and recovery are paramount to Packetlabs. Our team identifies recovery capabilities and ensures backups to critical systems can’t be compromised.
Guarantee Regulatory Compliance
Alongside full regulatory compliance, technical and non-technical checks provide step-by-step inclusions for your organization’s Employee Awareness Training, contributing to long-term learning and growth.
