Cybersecurity automation - endpoint hardening

Cyberlib: when automation disrupts the hardening business

Hardening is not a new topic. For over twenty years, IT teams have known that correctly configuring workstations and servers is a fundamental pillar of cybersecurity.

The principle is simple: reduce the attack surface by closing all unnecessary doors, disabling risky options and applying security settings recommended by the authorities and best practices.

In theory, it's obvious.

In practice... it's a nightmare.

Traditional hardening: an obstacle course

Setting up an operating system is no mean feat.

  • Windows offers more than 620 possible security settings.
  • Each can have functional impacts or cause side effects.
  • Changes are made via registry keys, PowerShell scripts or GPOs: in short, you have to get your **** hands dirty and touch theengine.

Result:

  • Teams are reluctant to tighten up for fear of breaking practices.
  • Testing is long, tedious and costly.
  • Updates are a nightmare to maintain, with each new directive or regulatory change.

Even home users have had a taste of it: who hasn't sweated when faced with a Windows message asking them to "activate a security option", without really understanding what this means? In the corporate world, the same scene is played out... on the scale of thousands of workstations.

That's why today there are hardening experts: specialized consultants, MSSP teams, in-house experts. But let's be honest: most IS put off tackling the problem for lack of time, skills or resources.

Cyberlib: automating 80% of the hardening process

At Cyberlib, we've taken this problem head-on.

Our conviction: hardening must become simple, progressive and accessible to all.

How do we do it? By automating the entire business chain:

  • Automatic, one-click deployment: no more PowerShell scripts or cobbled-together GPOs. Our solutions apply the right rules directly to thousands of endpoints.
  • Embedded models: based on best practices (ANSSI, CIS, ISO, NIST...), but also on progressive models for smoothly hardening the park, without disrupting the user experience.
  • No-code console: no need for advanced scripting skills. Security policies are easy to manage, with a clear, easy-to-understand interface.
  • Towards AI: tomorrow, our systems will rely on artificial intelligence to support the hardening strategy and cover virtually the entire business, from definition to execution.

A clear disruption: from consultant to machine

Until now, the hardening business has rested on two pillars:

  • the expert consultant, responsible for defining strategy and priorities,
  • operational teams, responsible for deploying, testing and maintaining configurations.

With Cyberlib, we have automated 80-90% of this work.

The consultant remains essential for strategic vision and business contextualization, but we take away the tedious and time-consuming burden of laborious updates, management of side effects, parameterization and deployment.

Result:

  • fewer human errors,
  • faster,
  • mass adoption possible even in structures that didn't have the resources for a complete hardening project.
  • consistent, up-to-date security policies.

The goal: to make prevention accessible at last

For twenty years, everyone has known that hardening is an absolute priority. Yet, in the field, it is still extremely poorly covered.

Why? Because it's too complex and too expensive. Because it's too complex and too expensive.

This is precisely what Cyberlib is changing:

  • make hardening easy,
  • make it effective,
  • make it accessible to all.

So that cybersecurity ceases to be a pile-up of palliative solutions, and finally becomes a preventive strategy, anchored in the very configuration of systems.

At Cyberlib, we believe that tomorrow's cybersecurity will be won not just in SOCs or EDRs... but in the way your systems learn to defend themselves.
