Known Malware Detection

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

Malware Won't Pause for 2031

Malware that lands through an unpatched or weakly-encrypted channel can sit dormant, exfiltrating data for the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks quantum computing will eventually complete. Executive Order 14412, "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks," sets legally binding federal deadlines to migrate to post-quantum cryptography: key establishment by December 31, 2030 and digital signatures by December 31, 2031. Detecting known and emerging malware across an ever-changing footprint is a continuous job, not an annual scan. QRedSentinel scans continuously and triages every hit by hand, catching dormant and emerging malware long before it can finish its job.

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
