A technique is directed to simulating a ransomware attack in a testing environment. The technique involves obtaining access to a testing environment in which to perform a simulated ransomware attack. The technique further involves, after obtaining access to the testing environment, loading prepared data into the testing environment. The technique further involves performing, as the simulated ransomware attack, a set of input/output (IO) operations based on a set of IO traces corresponding to an actual ransomware attack, the set of IO operations accessing the prepared data.
