This penetration testing can generate a payload and, above all, emulate incoming connections with the infected machine once the hacker is in. It can even attack the chip’s firmware and provide root access on the device, which gives more privileges and capabilities than the user. How to Protect against Payloads.

Testing must be performed to verify that resources have been installed, configured, integrated, and secured without error or gap in security. Active Vulnerability Detection Vulnerability scans and penetration testing will be performed [quarterly] and after significant changes to resources to test for unknown vulnerabilities.
