Pentera (formerly Pcysys), the leader in automated security validation, today unveiled RansomwareRead – a new module of the Pentera platform that emulates the world's most destructive ransomware strains. Pentera provides security teams complete visibility of the most severe vulnerabilities that adversaries and ransomware exploit to compromise critical assets and disrupt business operations.

With this release, Pentera disrupts traditional approaches to vulnerability management by showing CISOs exactly how attackers and ransomware threats will exploit their network and infrastructure.
Pentera is the only platform that safely automates real adversary tactics and techniques inside of the network. This fast tracks a CISO's ability to identify and prioritize the critical weaknesses across security programs that create systemic risk and that adversaries exploit to shut down business operations.
"Vulnerability-centric programs and simulations fail because they don't show CISOs where they're most exposed based on how adversaries think and act once they're in a network. You can patch and chase vulnerabilities for days and still not be ready for a ransomware attack," said Pentera CEO Amitai Ratzon. "RansomwareReady is a compilation of the nastiest ransomware in the wild – from REvil to Maze. We safely emulate these within our customers' environments to show them exactly how ransomware will move throughout their network. This allows them to prioritize the critical weaknesses attackers exploit and become attack-ready."
