Security testing - VAPT

So, what exactly is Ransomware and why should I be worried?

Ransomware is a type of attack which takes control of a target’s assets and demand a ransom in exchange for the return of the confidential and private information stolen. For more than three years, ransomware has been the top attack type.

Ransomware attacks in four different ways: lock, encrypt, delete and steal or LEDS (Lock, Encrypt, Delete, Steal). Ransomware can lock access - such as locking the screen, or lock access to a particular application, your personal information etc. It can encrypt data, making it inaccessible. It can steal - compromising confidentiality. And in worse event, it can delete information, making it permanently unavailable.

Apart from ransomware, some of the other tools of cyber-attacks include gaining server access, Data theft, Credential harvesting, RAT, Misconfiguration.

Plug that hole -NOW!

With 66% organization hit by ransomware in last year, with cyber-attacks increasing by over 120% annually, with average ransom paid going as high as $800,000 plus and with threefold increase in ransoms paid over $1M to restore stolen information – it’s not too far when you find yourself under such threat, if you don’t plug those vulnerabilities now!

What is VAPT and how does it keep me safe?

The Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test (VAPT) is a purposeful and ethical attempt to attack your IT infrastructure in order to explore any security weaknesses or exposures that an outside threat could use to harm your business.
