ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During an email-focused penetration test, you need to confirm that the organization's secure mail gateway can detect and block known malware while eliminating any possibility of an actual infection. Which technique should you include in your test case?

  • Email a password-protected ZIP archive containing the latest Emotet sample to several employee inboxes.

  • Disable endpoint scanning on a spare workstation inside the LAN and execute a Zeus Trojan binary.

  • Email the EICAR standard anti-virus test file as an attachment and observe how the gateway handles it.

  • Spoof the gateway's update server to capture signature download traffic during the test window.
