Known Malware Detection
Find What's Already Inside.

A penetration test assumes you might be breached — malware detection checks whether you already are. QSECS scans your applications, servers and infrastructure for known malware signatures, web shells and indicators of compromise that automated defenses routinely miss.

What Malware Detection Covers

We hunt for established threats and the tell-tale artefacts of a prior or ongoing compromise across your estate.

Penetration testing proves what an attacker could do. Malware detection answers a more uncomfortable question: has someone already done it? Compromises routinely sit undetected for months while data is quietly exfiltrated.

QSECS scans your applications, servers and infrastructure for known malware, web shells and the artefacts of persistence that signal an active or past intrusion — then helps you contain, eradicate and confirm the threat is gone.

What We Test

Known malware signatures across application files, uploads and server filesystems

Web shells and backdoors planted in web roots, plugins and writable directories

Indicators of compromise — suspicious processes, cron jobs, scheduled tasks and persistence mechanisms

Malicious or tampered dependencies and supply-chain artefacts in your build

Outbound command-and-control and beaconing behavior from compromised hosts

The Quantum Clock Is Ticking

Security experts estimate quantum computers capable of breaking RSA-2048 encryption could arrive by 2030-2035. Adversaries are already running "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" campaigns — collecting encrypted data today to decrypt the moment quantum hardware matures. Every test we run is framed by that post-quantum reality, not just today's threats.

Our Approach

How QSECS Detects Malware

We combine signature intelligence with behavioral analysis so both known and cleverly hidden threats surface.

We scan against continuously updated malware and web-shell signature intelligence

We analyse behavior and persistence artefacts to catch threats that evade signature matching

We correlate findings with your access logs to establish likely entry points and timeline

We provide clear containment and eradication guidance, prioritised by active risk

We retest after cleanup to confirm the threat — and its persistence — is fully removed
