Ransomware Penetration Testing

Ransomware penetration testing evaluates the preparedness and risk of a ransomware attack. Our comprehensive assessment identifies gaps in people, processes, and technology, to determine the likelihood and readiness for a ransomware attack. In addition to a complete analysis of the security program against the Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Ransomware Risk Management (NISTIR 8374), and a technical assessment of security controls, a full penetration test is conducted to measure the robustness of your systems.

What you'll get:
  • Technical components assessment

  • Non-technical components assessment

  • Thorough Foundational Assessment of Networks and Systems

  • System hardening recommendations

  • A comprehensive report with detailed findings and remediation steps

Why conduct a Ransomware Penetration Test?

Identify the impact of potential 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 and processes
  • Beyond thorough testing, we schedule meetings with stakeholders to identify gaps in policies, standards, and procedures.

Ensure backups are secure and 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.

Determine the likelihood of a ransomware attack

By completing technical and non-technical checks, Packetlabs helps you determine if your organization is at risk for a ransomware attack. We analyze your security posture and make recommendations to improve it so that you can better withstand potential data breaches in future years!
