Dynamic posture assessment to mitigate reverse engineering

Methods and associated systems are provided to perform a security posture assessment (PA) of a device based on a PA process implemented on a server but not statically stored on the device. The method includes generating, by the server, commands to be performed by a dynamic command executor on the device. The dynamic command executor is configured to dynamically launch and execute system modules on the device, based on the commands, to perform operations in the PA process. The commands and the results may be exchanged between the server and the device via a secure communication connection. The commands may be sent in a message with an encryption key that encrypts the messages, and the received command results may also be encrypted using the encryption key. By not statically storing the PA process on the device, the PA process is protected from reverse engineering attacks.
