Infrastructure Hardening
Tightens the configuration of servers endpoints networks and databases against known benchmarks so the same class of attack that succeeded elsewhere finds nothing to work with here. The outcome is measurably reduced attack surface and evidence to prove it.
Everything included under this practice line.
Operating system baselines: CIS-benchmarked images for Linux and Windows delivered as golden AMIs or Packer templates
Endpoint hardening: EDR deployment application allowlisting and disk encryption coverage
Network segmentation: firewall rule cleanup microsegmentation for east-west traffic and jump host consolidation
Database hardening: authentication encryption at rest and in transit and privilege minimization for RDS SQL Server and MongoDB
Patch and vulnerability management: risk-based prioritization SLA tracking and exception workflow
Legacy system isolation: compensating controls for systems that cannot be patched or replaced
Configuration drift detection: continuous comparison to baseline with automatic remediation where safe
Backup and recovery hardening: immutable backups isolated recovery environments and restore testing
The stack we reach for.
What the business gets, measured.
- Fewer successful exploits against known and patchable vulnerabilities
- Reduced ransomware blast radius through segmentation and immutable backups
- Faster mean time to patch on critical vulnerabilities
- Lower cyber insurance premiums with documented control coverage
- Compliance-ready evidence for hardening and configuration management requirements
The specialists behind this practice line.
Infrastructure security engineers own the baselines and configuration management alongside a network security specialist for the segmentation and firewall work and a vulnerability management analyst for the patch prioritization pipeline. A database security specialist is engaged specifically for the data-tier hardening because the controls differ per engine and per version.
Compose several capabilities into one engagement.
Cloud Security
We lock down AWS Azure and GCP accounts with least-privilege IAM encrypted everything and guardrails that catch drift before it ships. CSPM tooling flags misconfigs in the pipeline not in prod.
DevSecOps
Security shifts left into the pipeline. SAST SCA secrets scanning and container image checks run on every PR with results gated on severity so devs get signal not noise.
Identity & Access Management
Single source of truth for humans and machines. Okta or Entra ID for SSO SCIM for lifecycle and short-lived credentials everywhere so nobody is pasting long-lived keys into a laptop.
Security Assessments
Structured reviews of cloud accounts apps and networks against CIS OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK. You get a ranked findings list with reproduction steps and a fix owner not a 200 page PDF.
Compliance & Governance
SOC 2 ISO 27001 HIPAA and PCI DSS mapped to actual controls in your stack. Evidence collection is automated through Drata or Vanta so audit prep is a week not a quarter.
Security Monitoring
Central SIEM with detections that actually fire on real threats not every failed login. We tune rules to your environment and wire alerts into PagerDuty so on-call sees what matters.
