Protective Services
Prevention, detection, and containment
InGuardians Protective Services Team delivers expert guidance to your IT employees, stakeholders and management in order to better defend their assets against targeted threats.
All of our Protective Services begin with building a threat profile of the client. In this process, our entire team identifies the threats and actors that pose the most risk to your organization. We can then use the threat model to determine the most effective security controls to deter the attacks, in addition to implementing audit measures to determine when breaches occur.
The services below are a subset of what InGuardians can do for your organization.
Security Architecture Review
InGuardians analyzes your security architecture and provides recommendations on controls and audit measures.
InGuardians’ Security Architecture Reviews are broad-ranging and provide an in-depth analysis of your information security controls and audit measures. Our guidance, presentation, and report will help your team understand the current strengths and weaknesses of your security architecture, and provide a roadmap to construct stronger defenses and become more resilient to attack.
InGuardians assesses existing policies & configurations, interviews key stakeholders, and measures control and audit functions to identify gaps, deficiencies, and build a plan to remediate them.
Purple Team Training
InGuardians has developed a unique Red vs Blue team training program that can be customized to your organization. We start by assessing and bolstering the organization’s Incident Response capability. Then, using custom training modules we conduct live-fire exercises testing your team’s ability to detect, deter, and respond.
Security Program Assessment
The threat landscape facing organizations today requires a defensible architecture complete with preventative controls and detailed monitoring capabilities. InGuardians Security Program Reviews helps your team defend your enclave, deter threats, and dominate your domain.
These reviews provide detailed analysis of your current security program and provides your organization with a roadmap to achieving your security goals.
System Hardening Assessment
Proactive security measures disrupt or contain a bad actor’s attack. InGuardians’ operating system hardening and assessment service uses configuration steps and open source tools to block the initial compromise or contain its thread. Determine your gaps from standards and leapfrog into best practice. This starts at the operating system and application-level configuration settings, moves on to custom SELinux or AppArmor profiles and continues with local system instrumentation. Past customers of this service have run the gamut from DevOps to security appliance vendors to universities.
Request InGuardians hardening services on production systems or on systems you have in development.

Policy Development and Review
Threat Hunting
InGuardians HuntTeam operators use both defensive and offensive teams to identify compromised systems, malicious code, and other indicators of compromise.
Incident Response
It is no longer a question of if, but when you will be breached. Most organizations are ill-equipped to handle their own breach investigations. During the past eighteen years, InGuardians has helped over one hundred Fortune 1000 companies recover from serious compromises. The process of containing the breach and eradicating the attackers is often a daunting one. InGuardians Incident Response Team has the experience to help your organization make a full recovery.

Our Incident Response Training has helped many Fortune 500 companies and one country develop their incident response practice. Starting with an evaluation of the organization’s current state of incident preparedness, our team creates a roadmap and training path. From policy and procedure development to live fire exercises, InGuardians can help your team prepare for tomorrow’s threats today.
