Security Testing & Validation

Security Assessment & Configuration Review

Identify security-relevant misconfigurations before they become realistic attack paths.

ForgeOne reviews Linux, open-source and platform infrastructures for security-relevant misconfigurations and technical risks without pretending this is a penetration test.

Your path with ForgeOne

  1. Step 1

    Assessment

    Understand current state, risks and dependencies.

  2. Step 2

    Architecture

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

  3. Step 3

    Planning

    Plan migration, automation, integration and responsibilities.

  4. Step 4

    Implementation

    Implement systems, platforms and processes in a controlled way.

  5. Step 5

    Operations

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

  6. Current step

    Validation

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

Typical scope areas

The concrete scope is agreed based on environment and risk.

Linux security configuration

RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu and Debian with focus on baselines, SSH, PAM, permissions, SELinux or AppArmor.

Identity, PKI and secrets

IAM, Keycloak, FreeIPA, certificates, key material and technical trust chains are reviewed in a traceable way.

Platform and operational risk

Network segmentation, patch and lifecycle configuration, logging, audit and backup/recovery security.

Assessment deliverables

The results must be technically actionable, not merely formally complete.

Documented findings

Traceable findings with technical context, affected systems and risk.

Prioritized measures

Concrete recommendations prioritized by severity, effort and operational feasibility.

Optional hardening as code

On request, ForgeOne supports remediation, CIS hardening, SELinux and Ansible-based implementation afterwards.

Process

  1. Step 1

    Scope

    Systems, access, depth and boundaries are agreed together.

  2. Step 2

    Review

    Configurations, platform state and security controls are reviewed systematically.

  3. Step 3

    Findings

    Risks are documented, assessed and mapped to measures.

  4. Step 4

    Remediation

    Optionally, ForgeOne helps implement the hardening work.
