Find the security gaps your tools aren't telling you about. Practical guides on DLP blind spots, NGFW misconfigurations, and validation techniques that actually work.
Your DLP Passes Every Test but Misses Real Exfiltration — Here's Why
Your DLP blocks the test file every time. So why did sensitive data still walk out the door? 6 blind spots — including nested JSON exfiltration via MCP/API payloads — that lab testing never catches.
Why Most Security Testing Tools Give False Confidence
There are other DLP and firewall testing tools. Here's what ITSecTools does that none of them can: nested JSON exfiltration testing (MCP/API payloads), endpoint DLP detection, 10-vendor regex, PDF reports, and kill chain simulation.
How to Test Your DLP Policy — Find the Gaps Before Attackers Do
Your DLP says it's working. But can it detect SSNs inside nested JSON? Encrypted ZIPs? API payload exfiltration? 5 blind spots including Advanced DLP tests — free with PDF validation report.
EICAR Is Just the Beginning — Test What Your AV Actually Misses
EICAR proves signature scanning works. It does NOT prove heuristic detection works. ITSecTools goes beyond EICAR with Mimikatz-pattern samples, ransomware simulators, and OLE/ANI exploits.
Your DLP Regex Works in Testing but Breaks in Production — Here's Why
Forcepoint uses PCRE. Zscaler uses RE2. Your regex with lookaheads just failed silently. The only free tool that builds and translates DLP regex across 10 vendor engines.
Your NGFW Has 10,000 Signatures — How Many Actually Fire?
SSL decryption disabled? IPS in detect-only? Stale signatures? Test your NGFW with real attack traffic over HTTPS. 4 test suites, 30-attack flood test, and a downloadable PDF assessment report.
Your Firewall Blocks Attacks — But Can It Stop a Kill Chain?
Testing one signature at a time gives you false confidence. Simulate a real 4-stage attack from Initial Access to Exfiltration with real CVEs. Download a kill chain report — free, from your browser.
