Click, Click… Boom! Automating Protections Testing with Detonate

Elastic built Detonate, an automated system that executes malware samples in sandboxed environments to test the efficacy of its endpoint protection platform at scale. The tool accepts file hashes, provisions isolated virtual machines, runs malicious code, and collects telemetry to measure detection and prevention capabilities. Detonate enables security researchers to validate protection effectiveness, identify coverage gaps, and test new defenses before deployment to production environments.

Why it matters: Elastic endpoint protection (EPP) customers benefit from continuous validation of detection rules and machine learning models through automated testing that catches regressions and conflicts before updates reach users.
