EmberSec's technical services team leverages decades of professional experience and hand-selected technologies to evaluate your organization's security program from the mindset of your adversaries. This threat-focused approach allows us to accurately identify gaps, report findings specific to your business, and provide recommendations around best practices for mitigating your weaknesses and reducing your risk exposure. |
Benefits of Security Assessments
There are many methods from which one can approach the security issues facing their organization. Security assessments provide insight on your existing security vulnerabilities and how to mitigate common gaps in your enterprise's IT structure, to support the resiliency of your environment.
Track Value
Security assessments help reveal to what level your investments are really working and empower better decision-making when it comes to making changes to your technology stack. |
Enhanced Security Controls
Through security assessments, you gain insight into what security controls are effective and how to further improve your security posture. |
Risk Awareness
You can’t fix a problem if you don’t know it exists. Investing in your cyber posture expresses that you want them to be safe, secure and free from threats, too – from handling sensitive information to recovering from a breach. |
Service Offerings
Vulnerability AssessmentVulnerability Assessments are a critical component of any vulnerability management program, and are often recommended as the preliminary step for evaluating your security posture.
Prior to performing a Vulnerability Assessment service, EmberSec works with your management and technical staff to establish testing criteria, scope, and schedule. During the engagement, EmberSec consultants will perform the technical activities such as scanning and manual inspection, and procedural activities such as interviews and document review. At the end, the team categorizes each vulnerability based on severity and reports the findings, impact, and recommendations for remediation to help guide your security team’s response. For a typical Vulnerability Assessment, EmberSec recommends a timeframe of one to three weeks to perform all assessment and reporting activities. |
Internal Vulnerability Assessment – Evaluate the attack surface of your networks, systems, and services by finding as many vulnerabilities as possible.
External Vulnerability Assessment – Evaluate the attack surface of your enterprise perimeter and public cloud infrastructure. Cyber Due Diligence Assessment – Assess the state of your enterprise-wide security program or evaluate the information security posture for a prospective merger and acquisition. |

Penetration Testing |
Penetration testing is one of the most versatile tools that an organization can use to test their security posture, as it provides insight into the depth of their vulnerability exposure and a greater understanding of the residual vulnerability impact through exploitation and post-exploitation activities.
Prior to performing a Penetration Testing service, the EmberSec team works with your management and technical staff to understand your assessment needs and to establish the testing scope and schedule. During the assessment, our consultants evaluate the attack surface of the in-scope systems and services to identify potentially exploitable vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. If a foothold can be achieved, the consultants will attempt to gain further access and evaluate vulnerability exposure at a deeper level. At the conclusion of the assessment, the team categorizes each vulnerability based on severity and reports the findings, impact, and recommendations for remediation to help guide your security team’s response. For a typical Penetration Testing service, EmberSec recommends a time frame of one to three weeks to perform all assessment and reporting activities. For customers with additional or unique requirements, the EmberSec team can customize our services and tailor an engagement for your organization. |
