This simple, safe test checks to see if your network security will catch malware hiding in a compressed file. Here is how:
- Analyzes how well your current security detects an EICAR[1] test sample virus pattern, stand-alone and compressed in different formats
- Tests the malware detection capabilities of your gateway (NGFW, UTM, & Web Security) and other antivirus clients
- Captures periodic website screenshots and places them and an EICAR virus sample file into a compressed file using different compression formats
- Provides a continuously changing hash for your test files
