Operational Security That Holds Up Under Real-World Attack.
Having strong perimeter defences means nothing if your internal operations are exposing you to risk. Silverback Cyber’s Secure Operations service helps organisations assess, harden, and validate the security of their day-to-day operational environments, from infrastructure and endpoints to the processes and configurations that keep your business running.
We work with your teams to identify weaknesses that adversaries actively exploit in the real world, providing clear, actionable guidance to reduce your operational risk.
What We Cover
Secure Operations assessments are broad by design, covering the areas most commonly leveraged during real-world intrusions. This includes internal network security and segmentation, Active Directory and identity infrastructure, endpoint hardening and EDR coverage gaps, privileged access management, logging, monitoring and detection capability, patch management and vulnerability exposure, cloud configuration and hybrid environment security, and operational security policies and procedures.
Our Approach
We approach secure operations work from an attacker’s perspective. Rather than reviewing configurations against a checklist, our consultants assess your environment the way a threat actor would, identifying the realistic attack paths that exist within your operational environment and the controls, or gaps in controls, that would determine the outcome of a real intrusion.
Assessments combine technical testing with configuration review and where appropriate, targeted red team scenarios to validate whether your operational controls hold up under simulated attack conditions.
What You Get
Engagements produce a prioritised findings report covering identified weaknesses, their real-world exploitability, and practical remediation steps your teams can act on immediately. Where systemic issues are identified, we provide strategic recommendations alongside tactical fixes so that improvements are durable rather than just reactive.
Executive reporting is included as standard, giving leadership clear visibility into operational risk posture without requiring technical expertise to interpret.
Who Is It For?
Secure operations assessments are valuable for any organisation looking to understand how well their internal environment would hold up against a determined attacker. They are particularly relevant for organisations that have experienced a security incident and want to understand the gaps that enabled it, businesses undergoing significant infrastructure change or cloud migration, and teams looking to validate whether their security investments are delivering real protection.
Why Silverback Cyber
Our consultants have spent careers operating in adversarial environments. We understand how attackers move through internal networks, abuse misconfigurations, escalate privileges, and maintain persistence because we do it professionally during red team and penetration testing engagements every day.
That operational experience is what separates a Silverback Cyber assessment from a compliance-driven audit. We tell you what a real attacker would do with what you have, and help you fix it before one does.
