Resources
Practical tools for security teams.
Security isn't just our business — it's our craft. We believe the best way to raise the collective bar is to share what we know. These resources distill years of frontline experience into actionable guides, checklists, and references that your team can put to work immediately. No gating, no sales pitch — just practical material built by practitioners, for practitioners.
Checklist
Incident Response Checklist
A structured, phase-by-phase checklist covering preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review. Built around NIST SP 800-61 and refined through hundreds of real engagements. Print it, pin it to the wall, and never scramble for next steps during a crisis again.

Security Assessment Guide
Everything you need to know before, during, and after a security assessment. Understand the differences between vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and red team engagements. Learn how to scope effectively, prepare your organization, interpret findings, and build a remediation strategy that sticks.

Cybersecurity Glossary
Over 100 essential cybersecurity terms defined at practitioner level. From APTs to zero trust, every definition is written to be precise and useful — not dumbed down. Use it to onboard new team members, align cross-functional stakeholders, or settle the next terminology debate in your SOC.

Beyond these resources, our team regularly publishes in-depth articles on emerging threats, incident response techniques, and security strategy on the ForgeWork Insights blog. Topics range from tactical write-ups on malware campaigns to strategic guidance on building security programs that scale with your organization. If you find these resources useful, the blog is the natural next step.
We also maintain three specialized platforms: DFIR Assist for digital forensics and incident response workflows, the Malware Analysis Academy for hands-on malware reverse engineering training, and IR TTX Training for tabletop exercise facilitation. Each platform extends the knowledge in these resources into deeper, more interactive learning experiences.
