Abstract
A testing computer system communicates with a cloud computing platform coupled to one or more target computer systems. The testing computer system receives a list of target computer systems from the cloud computing platform, generates respective test payloads for a set of the target systems, and sends the test payloads to the set of target systems. Each respective test payload is useable by its respective target system to perform a security scan of the target system and send test results to the testing computer system and includes instructions that cause the test payloads to be deleted after the security scan is performed. The testing computer system receives test results generated by the set of target systems and evaluates the test results to determine whether any of the set of target systems is implicated in a security breach.
