Attack Vector Simulation (AVS)
Ransomware vulnerability audit
Ransomware is no joke. For that reason, WCTP uses our attack vector simulation to test networks against a real-world breach scenario to see if the correct security measures are in place to stop it.
What is an attack vector?
An attack vector is the path or means by which a malicious user gains access to a network resource to deploy malicious code for the desired outcome. Attack vectors allow malicious users to exploit system weaknesses.
Common attack vectors include malicious software, email attachments, unpatched hardware, unpatched software, viruses, webpages, pop-up windows, and end-user deception.
How the simulation works
Our Attack Vector Simulation mimics malicious users looking for and exploiting multiple attack vectors during a ransomware attack. During the attack, the user will search for valuable information. Once they have found what they are looking for, they will try and gain control to isolate you from it.
This audit is critical because your security measures should respond as if an actual attack was in progress, detecting and containing the process before the simulation can finish. If security measures fail to stop the simulation, we will know there is an area of concern.
Let us put your mind at ease, schedule an AVS (attack vector simulation). You will know how your network responds to a ransomware attack.
