Cohesity REDLab
The data protection industry’s only dedicated source of actionable intelligence on the interaction between malware and backup infrastructure. Validated ransomware defense you can trust—tested against real-world threats in our proprietary lab.
About Cohesity REDLab:
Industry-leading expertise on how ransomware interacts with backup infrastructure
Cohesity REDLab is a team of expert researchers operating an air-gapped facility that executes live malware against production-grade Cohesity DataProtect and NetBackup deployments.
They are the data protection industry’s only dedicated source of actionable intelligence on the interaction between malware and backup infrastructure.
Ransomware vs. the last line of defense
We detonated 53 live ransomware strains against production-grade backup infrastructure in an air-gapped lab then recorded exactly what happened.
Testing methodology
How REDLab delivers industry-leading research
Cohesity REDLab research helps strengthen the resilience of our products. Here’s how the team works.
Detonate real-world malware strains
Our experts execute live malware against production-grade Cohesity DataProtect and NetBackup deployments in an air-gapped lab running current, generally-available software.
Prove and reproduce the results
We log every test with timestamps, sample hashes, and platform versions.
Map and measure
Researchers map every strain to MITRE ATT&CK and capture the same five measurement points per detonation for cross-strain comparison.
"We built REDLab to answer a simple question: when real world ransomware reaches your systems, what actually happens? Our team studies live attacks, identifies new attack vectors, and turns those findings into action. This research does two things. First, our observations inform how we improve our products to be more resilience. Second, we deliver actionable intelligence to help those who answer for recovery when an incident hits: CISOs, CIOs, infrastructure and security leaders, architects, and the practitioners responsible for resilience."
