Security Hardening
Proactively close the gaps before an attacker finds them.
We take your existing infrastructure and harden it against the threats most likely to hit your industry. Server, network, identity, application, and cloud-config hardening — backed by a baseline that survives an audit.
01— What's included
Scope of work
- Server hardening (Linux + Windows): CIS / NIST benchmarks
- Network hardening: segmentation, ACLs, IDS tuning
- Identity hardening: MFA, conditional access, AD/Azure AD
- Application hardening: WAF, CSP, secure headers
- Cloud config hardening (AWS / Azure / GCP)
- Documented baseline you can re-apply
02 — Comparison
Hardening done properly.
| Feature | AnySec | Generic firm | DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output format | Ansible / Terraform / CIS-CAT — codified | PDF policy document | Tribal knowledge |
| Validation | Re-test with same TTPs after hardening | Trust-me | Hope |
| Reproducibility | Apply the baseline to new hosts in seconds | Manual checklist | Per-host work |
03 — Methodology
How we run it
- 01Current-state assessment
- 02Threat-model the most likely attack paths
- 03Apply hardening in change-windowed phases
- 04Validate with re-test against the same TTPs
- 05Hand over reproducible baseline
04 — Deliverables
What you receive
- Hardening implementation report
- Reproducible baseline (Ansible / Terraform / CIS-CAT)
- Pre/post comparison scorecard
“Our DevOps team can now apply our hardening baseline to a new EC2 instance with a single Ansible run. Before AnySec, it was a 3-day manual checklist.”

05 — Our commitments
Skin in the game.
- Hardening reverts cleanly if it breaks anything
- Baseline is codified — not a PDF you'll lose
- Pre/post scorecard quantifies the change
06 — FAQ
Questions we get asked
Do you do this alongside a pentest?+
Often, yes. Pentest first to discover, harden second to remediate, retest third to verify.
Will hardening break anything?+
Done well, no. We test in staging, change-window in production, and roll back any item that breaks a real workflow.
