DocEx is an APT emulation tool designed to simulate the exfiltration of .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, and .pdf files. Security teams can use it to assess defenses against this kind of document loss.
Before any test, define its scope and obtain authorization. Use test documents, not real customer, employee, or operational files, and avoid sending sensitive data to unapproved tools.
Record which defenses will be evaluated, who will oversee the exercise, and how to stop it. Run the simulation in a controlled environment and monitor relevant security controls without exposing documents beyond the approved scope.
