Safely simulate ransomware attacks in controlled environments to evaluate your organisation's ability to detect, contain, and mitigate encryption-based threats.

Ransomware remains one of the most disruptive and costly cyber threats organisations face today. Adversaries continuously refine their tactics, combining data exfiltration, targeted encryption, and multi-stage extortion techniques.
SilentGrid's Ransomware Simulation leverages custom-built ransomware to safely replicate the encryption of local folders, network shares, and critical paths, simulating the full lifecycle of modern ransomware attacks. This controlled simulation provides critical insights into how your detection, response, and containment strategies perform under realistic attack conditions – without risking production environments.
Ransomware simulations expose weaknesses in endpoint security, SIEM alerting, EDR configurations, and response workflows, enabling your organisation to fortify defences before real attacks occur.
SilentGrid uses internally developed ransomware that mimics real-world payloads:
Designed to safely encrypt files without destructive impact - files are restorable post-simulation
Executed in sandbox environments, isolated networks, or dedicated testing systems
Encrypts files on local machines, remote shares, and critical paths to simulate lateral spread
Tailored to match your environment, testing different payload delivery mechanisms
Our simulation tests your security stack's effectiveness at every stage of a ransomware attack:
Testing detection of ransomware payload delivery and initial execution
Monitoring response to active file encryption across local and network drives
Assessing containment of ransomware spread to network shares and endpoints
Measuring time from initial execution to detection and response
Evaluating effectiveness of isolation and remediation procedures
Validating backup and recovery processes post-encryption
Experience ransomware attacks safely and realistically in controlled environments
Uncover blind spots in EDR, SIEM, and incident response processes
Assess your ability to contain ransomware spread across endpoints and networks
Equip SOC and IR teams with real-world experience managing ransomware incidents
SilentGrid provides detailed reports that enable you to strengthen your ransomware defences:
Identification of missed detections, slow responses, and containment delays
Performance assessment of EDR, antivirus, and file integrity monitoring tools
Tactical guidance on improving ransomware readiness and remediation workflows
High-level overview detailing potential business impacts and strategic risk mitigations
Ransomware simulation is ideal for organisations that:
Fortify your defences against encryption-based threats
SilentGrid helps organisations prepare for ransomware attacks through realistic simulations that expose vulnerabilities before attackers do.
