Ransomware Simulation

 Find out whether your infrastructure could withstand a real cyberattack. We simulate an end-to-end data hijacking in a controlled environment, so we can detect your gaps before a cybercriminal does

How a ransomware simulation works

How a ransomware attack spreads Animation showing the stages of a ransomware attack Phishingsimulation Initial victim device Network device Network device Encrypted files Payment is demanded to restore access, or extortion threats are made to prevent data disclosure.

Payload delivery

The simulated attack arrives (via phishing, link, or file) with no real malicious payload.

■ Blue = unencrypted      ■ Red = encrypted by ransomware

TECHNICAL PROCESS OF THE SIMULATION 

 A real cyberattack test, with no real risk 

 We reproduce every link in the infection chain to pinpoint exactly where your defense fails or holds up. 

Emulating real threats

We reproduce the behavior of the most critical ransomware threats of recent years, so the test reflects a current threat scenario.

Payload delivery and execution

We simulate an attack designed to go undetected, leaving no visible trace on your machines, and check whether your defenses catch it in time.

Persistence and lateral movement

We reproduce how the malware would try to stay active in memory and move between your machine and the network, replicating the real behavior of an infection.

Privilege escalation

We attempt to elevate permissions within your environment, just as a cybercriminal would when seeking administrative access after the initial compromise.

Data encryption simulation

We run behavior equivalent to file encryption without damaging or encrypting real data to measure whether your systems detect and react in time.

Detection and response measurement

We assess how long it takes your tools and your team to identify and contain each phase of the attack, from entry to the encryption attempt.

PHASES

 From simulation to action plan

 Based on the simulation, we define a cybersecurity strategy specific to your infrastructure and business.

1

We define the scope

We agree with you on which simulations are run and when, with clear rules that ensure your operations aren't affected.

2

We run the simulation

We reproduce a real ransomware attack in a controlled environment, while monitoring how your defenses and your team react.

3

We deliver actionable results

You receive a clear report: each risk classified by criticality, along with the remediation to fix it.
