Use NetSPI's New Ransomware Attack SimulationTo Improve Ransomware Attack Resiliency

NetSPI | June 18, 2021

The leader in attack surface management and enterprise penetration testing, NetSPI,  has announced its new service for ransomware attack simulation., In collaboration with its ransomware security experts, the new service enables organizations to emulate ransomware families of real-world to find and fix dangerous susceptibilities in their defenses for cybersecurity.

Major cybersecurity gaps were exposed globally in the recent ransomware attacks. The Biden administration in the U.S. urges all business leaders to take enough precautions to get away from ransomware. Deputy national security advisor for emerging and cyber technology, Anne Neuberger, recommends various companies in a recent memo to use third-party pentester to test the security of the systems and the ability to defend a sophisticated cyber-attack effectively.

NetSPI closely collaborates during a ransomware attack simulation engagement with companies to simulate sophisticated ransomware techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) utilizing its tailor-made technology for breach and attack simulation. Following each engagement, organizations get access to NetSPI's technology to run custom plays independently and unceasingly assess how well their cybersecurity platform will hold up to a ransomware attack.
