RansomwareReady™ will test the company infrastructure and the interaction of the various security solutions with regard to the performance of a possible ransomware attack. Possible follow-up scenarios, such as access to business-critical data, are simulated in real life, including data encryption. Everything is secure, controlled and without causing any damage.
What questions will RansomwareReady™ help answer:
- How do you rate the readiness of your security controls against a ransomware attack?
- What can you do to reduce the risk of a ransomware attack before it starts?
- Do you have an idea of your overall risk and business impact in the event of a ransomware attack?
- How confident are you that security programs, tools, people and processes are ready for a ransomware attack?
