Ransomware Resilience & Threat Lab Operations

Hardening Backup and Recovery Solutions Against Real-World Exploits

Global Backup Company | Data Protection & Cybersecurity

The Challenge

As ransomware attacks grow in sophistication, backup and recovery solutions have become the critical last line of defense for global enterprises. A leading Enterprise Data Protection vendor faced a significant challenge: lacking a systematic framework to validate their products against live, emerging security threats. Without a dedicated infrastructure for safe malware execution or a structured process for detailed analysis, the company could not definitively prove product resilience against the latest ransomware families before deployment.

Our Solution

We established a world-class Threat Lab operation from the ground up, integrating offensive security research with defensive engineering model. By aligning operations with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, we engineered an automated and scalable validation ecosystem that includes:

  • Operational Framework & SOPs: Authored a comprehensive library of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for threat testing workflows. This ensured that malware execution, detailed analysis, and vulnerability reporting became repeatable, scalable, and compliant business processes.
  • Isolated Lab Infrastructure: Engineered a secure, air-gapped environment for high-fidelity ransomware execution, allowing for deep-dive analysis of 'Zero-Day' attack patterns without risk to the corporate network.
  • A comprehensive physical security protocol has been implemented.
  • Collaborate with the engineering team to fix vulnerabilities and verify remediation effectiveness.
  • Vulnerability-to-Fix Pipeline: Established a rigorous framework for vulnerability identification and fix validation, ensuring that every software patch is 'Red Team verified' before production deployment.
