What is Malware Resilience Testing?

Malware_Resilience_Testing_01

Malware resilience testing replicates the full lifecycle of a malware attack, including malware delivery, execution, persistence and C2 communication attempts to find dangerous blind spots in your defences.

Malware_Resilience_Testing_02

SECFORCE malware resilience testing spans the full spectrum of malware TTPs, including delivery success via email and web channels, payload performance against EDR, AV, IPS, and allowlisting controls, and the success of persistence and data exfiltration attempts.

Malware_Resilience_Testing_03

With up to 90% of cyberattacks beginning on user workstation devices, SECFORCE can show you exactly what happens when malware hits your environment and what to focus on to stop it.

Outcomes of Malware Resilience Testing

Malware Risk Reduction

Malware Risk Reduction

Clear, prioritised mitigation guidance to strengthen your organisational resilience against malware.

Malware Delivery Prevention

Malware Delivery Prevention

Test multiple layers of malware defence, including email filtering, web filtering, EDR, AV, IPS, and application allowlisting, across multiple malware file types, evasion, and obfuscation levels.

Audit and Compliance Readiness

Audit and Compliance Readiness

Verifiable evidence of resilience testing for audits or regulatory reporting

SOC Benchmarking

SOC Benchmarking

Identify whether your SOC accurately and promptly detects the latest malware TTPs and benchmark your malware resilience capabilities.

Who can benefit from Malware Resilience Testing?

Malware_Resilience_Testing_08

Any organisation ready to move beyond standard antivirus checks will benefit from malware resilience testing.

Malware_Resilience_Testing_09

CISOs and security leaders use malware resilience testing to drive measurable improvements, compliance gets real evidence of resilience testing, and ops teams validate existing or newly deployed EDR, AV, and proxy controls against real-world threats.

The SECFORCE way

SECFORCE malware resilience is based on decades of offensive security experience. Our team’s expertise, along with our proprietary tooling (including custom implants, ransomware, and our own C2 framework), simulates real-world threats that off-the-shelf testing tools cannot replicate.

We test your environment against malware delivery, execution, persistence, and command-and-control and against malware of varying complexity and obfuscation levels including bespoke malware designed for your environment. Our team always replicates tactics, techniques, and procedures used by real threat actors.

SECFORCE malware resilience testing includes detailed reporting with prioritised remediation advice. We help you reduce the likelihood of real-world exploitation, support regulatory compliance, and strengthen your endpoint resilience before attackers strike.
