The Mail and Web Filter Test provides insight into how your mail server and web proxy handle various types of test files. It allows you to assess whether the filtering infrastructure detects and blocks potential malicious content such as Java files, scripts, and embedded Office objects. Based on the results, you can refine your security measures and execute targeted phishing simulations to improve defenses.
A test like this is likely to raise a lot of red flags for your InfoSec team. While this is a good sign that your policies are working to protect you, it's best to give them a heads up before executing this test and setting off alarms.
You can customize your test by enabling/disabling different files in the template; click on a category to view and select each file. By default all files are active.
View the results of your test on the Summary page. Click on a category to see which files were delivered and downloaded successfully.
