New update expands Pentera's RansomwareReady™ platform to
test Linux environments with the addition of the LockBit 3.0
campaign
BOSTON, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pentera, the leader in Automated
Security Validation, today announced a major update to its
RansomwareReady™ product, enabling customers to proactively test
the security of their Linux environments. With this addition,
Pentera empowers organizations to adopt proactive measures against
the world's most pervasive and destructive ransomware strains
across Windows and Linux operating systems.
With an average cost of $5.13m per
attack, ransomware represents the single greatest cyber threat to
an organization's bottom line. According to threat intelligence
research, threat actors have pivoted to more frequently target
Linux operating systems, with ransomware attacks against the OS
increasing by 4x between H1 2021 and H1 2023.
"At the heart of RansomwareReady is the expertise of the Pentera
Labs' research team. Our team have meticulously architected a safe
version of the complete LockBit 3.0 ransomware campaign to test the
vulnerability of Linux environments," said Ran Tamir, Chief
Product Officer at Pentera. "Pentera challenges existing
security controls against ransomware without the adverse effects of
a real attack. Our in-depth security testing reveals the root cause
of possible attacks, enabling security teams to effectively
prioritize remediations and become attack-ready."
With the addition of the LockBit 3.0 campaign, the platform
emulates the enhanced security and evasion TTPs that define LockBit
3.0, and have made it so difficult to detect and mitigate. This
enables security teams to test the effectiveness of their SOC
operations and XDR toolsets against real attack scenarios.
With its safe-by-design attack engine, RansomwareReady emulates
entire ransomware campaigns against the organization's
in-production environment. The platform:
- Emulates many of the most destructive ransomware
strains including Maze, REvil, Conti, LockBit 2.0 and Lockbit
3.0
- Identifies vulnerable endpoints as well as the lateral pathways
adversaries can utilize to target critical assets and encrypt
and exfiltrate data across Windows and Linux environments
- Enables security teams to validate the effectiveness of
existing security controls and endpoint security tools
against ransomware attacks
- Utilizes the exact indicators of compromise (IOCs) as the
original campaigns, ensuring real responses from existing security
controls
- Provides a prioritized step-by-step guide for remediation to
harden security and ensure organizations are ransomware
ready
