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
The threat landscape facing organizations today requires a defensible architecture complete with preventative controls and detailed monitoring capabilities. InGuardians Security Architecture Services helps your team defend your enclave, deter threats, and dominate your domain.
With the introduction of BYOD programs, enterprises are allowing mobile devices access to corporate networks and sensitive information. InGuardians analysts assess the impact of mobile device usage, evaluate the risks they pose to the business, and demonstrate how an attacker can leverage insecure devices to breach internal corporate networks.
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.
