Sophism: “The use of a convincing but untrue argument in order to deceive”

AdversaryRansom

AdversaryRansom is a realistic simulation of a modern ransomware attack, designed to show how a capable ransomware group could operate inside your environment. The engagement follows the full attack lifecycle — from initial access and privilege escalation through lateral movement, backup targeting, and large-scale impact preparation. The goal is to determine whether ransomware could be deployed at scale, how far it could spread, and how severely it could disrupt the business.

Rather than encrypting systems or causing disruption, AdversaryRansom safely demonstrates what would happen before the point of detonation. The assessment focuses on ransomware staging activities, including access to privileged roles, discovery of backup and recovery systems, and identification of enterprise-wide deployment mechanisms. This approach provides clear visibility into the true blast radius of a ransomware event, the survivability of backups, and whether containment controls would activate quickly enough to prevent widespread impact.

AdversaryRansom is ideal for organisations that want a credible, evidence-based understanding of their ransomware readiness. The engagement delivers defensible insight into how ransomware would spread, what recovery options would remain available, and how effectively security teams could detect and contain an active attack. The result is a clear view of real business risk — and actionable priorities for improving resilience against one of today’s most damaging threats.

Challenge Everything. Assume Nothing.
