External Assessment
Identify vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Your internet-facing infrastructure is the first line of defense and often the first target. Our External Network Assessment simulates a real-world attacker operating from the public internet, testing the effectiveness of your boundary controls, VPN exposure, and any publicly accessible applications.
We combine automated reconnaissance with manual exploitation techniques to identify vulnerabilities that threat actors actively scan for, such as:
* Misconfigured firewalls or access control lists (ACLs)
* Unpatched services or software
* Insecure web application logic
* Authentication flaws or exposed credentials
Each finding is prioritized by exploitability and impact, with tailored remediation guidance that your team can act on immediately.

Internal Assessment
What happens if someone breaches your perimeter?
Assuming a threat actor gains a foothold through phishing, rogue insider, or physical compromise, how far could they get? Our Internal Network Assessment helps you answer that critical question.
We simulate an adversary operating from inside your network to test for:
* Lateral movement paths
* Privilege escalation opportunities
* Insecure service configurations
* Active Directory misconfigurations (e.g., weak delegation, Kerberoasting, password spraying)
This assessment uncovers the paths an attacker could take to elevate privileges or access sensitive systems. We emphasize Active Directory hardening, network segmentation, and excessive trust relationships as top-tier focus areas.
Deliverables include a clear attack narrative, visualized paths to compromise, and recommendations to break those chains before real attackers do.

Cloud Assessment
Misconfigured cloud services are today’s biggest blind spot.
Your cloud environment is dynamic, scalable and often under-secured. Our Cloud Security Assessment evaluates your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud infrastructure against real-world misconfiguration risks.
We review:
* IAM policies and privilege inheritance
* Publicly exposed S3 buckets, storage, or services
* Over-permissive roles and tokens
* Logging, monitoring, and auditing configurations
Common cloud-specific vulnerabilities (e.g., SSRF in metadata services, privilege escalation via role chaining)
Unlike automated scanners, our team uses a manual review approach tailored to your deployment. Whether you're serverless, hybrid, or containerized, we assess real-world attack paths and provide clear, security-conscious remediation.

Post-Breach Log & Network Forensics
Confirm or contain suspicious activity with clarity.
When something feels wrong, but you can’t prove it we can help. Black Node Security offers Network and Host Log Analysis services for organizations dealing with suspected compromise or post-incident cleanup.
We help you:
* Identify indicators of compromise (IOCs)
* Trace unauthorized access or privilege misuse
* Correlate log events across systems
* Determine dwell time and attacker movement
* Support legal or compliance investigations
Our analysts work directly with your logs (e.g., Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, firewall logs, authentication logs) and tooling (Splunk, ELK, Graylog, native platforms) to paint a complete picture. You’ll receive a detailed incident summary and a clear plan of action for remediation or escalation.
