Services

  • service-assessment

    Assessment

    We provide assessment services such as penetration testing, audits, red teaming, and (closed-source) product evaluations. While we have developed many defined testing methodologies for different technologies, we mainly focus on highly technical and individual assessments. Examples for specialized assessment expertise comprise IoT/embedded/industrial/medical devices, cloud/virtualization/hosting platforms, Microsoft & Active Directory environments, or network/security appliances.

  • service-consulting

    Consulting

    Using the insight from (offensive) assessment projects, we also support our customers during design, implementation, and approval of their IT landscapes by offering design/concept/process reviews, security concept development, risk assessments, product evaluation, or network (security) design.

  • Active Directory-, Azure- & Windows OS Platform Security Services

    In the space of Active Directory, Azure and Windows OS platform security, we provide a wide range of security services from Active Directory assessments to highly individual analysis projects based on specific customer questions and requirements for selected Microsoft products. Typical services we provide can be found here.

  • service-forensic

    Digital Forensics & Incident Analysis/Response

    We support our customers in implementing incident response processes/preparation as well as in analyzing occurred or suspected incidents. Following common incident response process models, we offer the development of incident preparation plans, immediate and on-site incident response and malware analysis, as well as the compilation of technical forensic reports.

  • service-training

    Training & Knowledge Transfer

    We offer training and knowledge transfer for most areas of IT security. The types of trainings range from video content over on-site trainings to gamified IT security challenges. Our public training is exclusively offered by our partner HM Training Solutions or during our TROOPERS conference.

  • service-research

    Research

    Following our knowledge-driven company culture, we offer research services to work on both scientific and pragmatic problems in the IT security space. Past funded research activities focused on Security Awareness, Digital Forensics, Reverse Engineering & Vulnerability Analysis, and telecommunications security. Future activities are coordinated by ERNW Research.

  • service-operations

    Secure IT Operations

    The secure operation of IT systems can be a very specialized task requiring expert knowledge. We are offering the operation of both IT services in a secure way as well as the (secure) operation of IT security services (such as [Web] Application Firewalls, IDPS, or SIEM systems).
