What if you could test your protection against Ransomware attacks and get actionable results today? Well you can with the Nemesis Ransomware Defense Validation (RDV) solution





Proactively Defend Against Ransomware Threats with Continuous Validation

In today’s evolving cyber threat landscape, organizations across industries face unprecedented risks to data security, operational continuity, and financial stability. Nemesis  Ransomware Defense Validation (RDV) solution empowers security leaders with the proactive tools needed to continuously identify and mitigate ransomware vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.


A Fully Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Solution

RDV, powered by the Nemesis proprietary Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform, is an automated, continuous solution designed to provide continuous and real-time testing and validation of security controls, enabling ongoing defense against ransomware threats. The solution is designed to:

  • Automated, Continuous Testing:  Enables ongoing assessment of security controls against real-world ransomware scenarios, reducing the need for manual testing and improving operational efficiency.

  • Gap Identification and Resolution: Helps uncover weaknesses in prevention, detection, and response mechanisms, allowing organizations to proactively strengthen defenses before threats are exploited.

  • Compliance and Continuous Improvement:  Supports alignment with industry standards and regulatory requirements while promoting security maturity beyond mere compliance through adaptive, threat-informed validation.


Key Features of RDV

  • Secure Email Gateway (SEG) Validation: Automates the continuous verification of SEG controls in filtering malicious emails and preventing phishing attacks.

  • Threat Detection Assessment (EDR, SIEM): Provides ongoing assessment of endpoint detection and security information event management tools to identify and alert teams to active threats in real-time.

  • Threat Response Readiness (SOC, MDR, NDR): Continuously monitors and measures the response readiness of security teams to mitigate ransomware threats in real-time.


Security Tool Effectiveness and validation

Security Tool

Strengths

Limitations

Value of RDV Validation

Secure Email Gateways (SEGs)

Effective at blocking known phishing and malicious emails

May miss sophisticated or targeted phishing attacks

Tests SEG resilience against evolving email threats and highlights need for enhancements (e.g., sandboxing, NLP filters)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Detects known ransomware behaviors and attack patterns

Can miss initial access vectors like macro-laden docs or script-based attacks

Validates behavior-based detection, ensuring adaptability to stealthy techniques

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Centralized alerting and correlation; AI-enhanced SIEMs perform better

Traditional systems suffer from alert fatigue and noise

Ensures alerts are relevant, prioritized, and actionable with real-world simulation input

Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Fast incident response and broad threat visibility

High alert volume may include false positives, slowing triage

Evaluates accuracy and response time, helping teams fine-tune processes

Network Detection and Response (NDR)

Excellent at detecting lateral movement and data exfiltration

Struggles in encrypted or high-volume traffic environments

Confirms detection of subtle, anomalous behaviors in realistic network traffic scenarios



Achieve Continuous Cyber Resilience

RDV provides organizations with continuous, automated visibility into their security investments, ensuring:

  • Ongoing risk reduction through continuous assessment and mitigation of emerging threats.

  • Accountability for security monitoring vendors, with automated reports and metrics.

  • Maximized return on investment (ROI) by delivering continuous, adaptive protection.
