ForgeOne supports ongoing infrastructure security tasks: hardening, vulnerability processes, log/alert review, PKI and security configuration management.

Managed Services

## Managed Security

Ongoing security operations without implying SOC/MDR services.

ForgeOne supports ongoing security tasks in infrastructure and platform environments: hardening baselines, patch and vulnerability processes, log/alert review, certificates/PKI, security configuration management and incident support according to the agreed scope.

## Your path with ForgeOne

1. Assessment

Understand current state, risks and dependencies.

2. Architecture

Define target architecture, security, platform roles and operating model.

3. Planning

Plan migration, automation, integration and responsibilities.

4. Implementation

Implement systems, platforms and processes in a controlled way.

5. Operations

Operate managed or co-managed with monitoring, updates and support.

6. Validation

Add security review, Kubernetes assessment or penetration testing where useful.

Previous step

## Next useful project step

Previous: Architecture & Security. This page builds on that step without repeating the full journey.

- [Architecture & Security](https://forgeone.solutions/en/architecture-security)

## Typical starting points

These situations show when the service is technically and commercially useful.

### Hardening

Security requirements need to remain implemented as environments change.

### Patch and vulnerability processes

Vulnerabilities need assessment, prioritization and traceable remediation.

### PKI & Certificates

Certificates, trust stores and expiry dates need controlled operations.

## Service scope

The concrete scope is defined per project or operating model.

### Security configuration management

Baselines, policies and configurations are integrated into operations.

### Monitoring review

Alerts and logs are reviewed within the agreed scope.

### Positioning

Managed Security is operations. Architecture & Security is design. Penetration Testing is independent validation.

## Delivery approach

1. 01: Define scope

Goals, systems, responsibilities and boundaries are defined together.

2. 02: Deliver

The agreed tasks are delivered in a traceable and documented way.

3. 03: Validate

Results, risks and open points are validated and prioritized.

4. 04: Handover

Operations, support or next steps are connected cleanly.

Next step

## Next service

Next: Penetration Testing. Internal links point directly to the canonical target URL.

## Related solutions and next steps

Not every service currently has enough specific knowledge articles. Until then, related topic areas are linked without automatic latest-post lists.

### Enterprise Linux

IT solution

Linux operations, distributions, lifecycle and platform foundations.

### Automation & IaC

IT solution

Configuration as Code, Infrastructure as Code and GitOps as a technical capability.

### Monitoring & Logging

IT solution

Observability, alerting and operational data for stable platforms.

## Common questions about Managed Security

### Does ForgeOne provide SOC or MDR?

This page describes infrastructure-focused security operations. SOC/MDR is not implied unless explicitly agreed.

### How is this different from penetration testing?

Managed Security supports ongoing operations. Penetration testing independently validates an environment from an attacker perspective.

### Can Managed Security be part of Managed Linux or Kubernetes?

Yes. Security tasks can be agreed as a separate scope or as part of a managed service model.
