MANAGED
At
Swarm Secure we have the ability to provide an enhanced and
layered approach to security by utilizing multiple security
products and strategies.

Forensic Support
We
understand the challenges associated with deciding to in-source
vs. out-source the management of security. After analyzing
the issues, Swarm Secure has developed three unique options
to accommodate the diverse requirements your organization
may have.
Out-Sourcing
- The choice to out-source the management and monitoring can
contribute to reducing your risks through a combination of
threat mitigation and risk/liability sharing between yourself
and the MSSP. Swarm Secure realizes that each MSSP has unique
capabilities and features in their managed services offering
(IDS's, Firewalls, and VPN's) as well as Service Level Agreements
(SLA's). We can help you find the service provider with the
features and level of service that is perfect for your environment.
In addition, Swarm Secure will work together with you periodically
to conduct blind-testing that ensures the MSSP is keeping
up-to-date with current threats and closely monitoring your
network. We will also provide you with periodic reports detailing
the results of tests and research done in this filed by Swarm
Secure staff members.
In-Sourcing
- If a company elects to keep the management of security services
internal to the company, Swarm Secure will provide on-site
training for both the integration and analysis of the selected
security product(s). Swarm Secure will also help develop escalation
procedures that integrate with the company's security policy.
In addition, Swarm Secure will assist the client in building
a leading support team by aiding in the hiring of qualified
individuals.
In-Sourcing
Supported
- In addition to the support described in the above "In-Sourcing"
section, Swarm Secure will also provide Tier-3 support for
the analysis of logs, events, systems, and incidence. Our
team has significant experience in IDS and log analysis and
forensic examination of systems.
At Swarm Secure we have developed relationships with multiple
Manage Security Service Providers so we are able identify
which best meets your requirements. If a company elects to
out-source 24/7/365 security services Swarm Secure will manage
the contract between the MSSP and our customers, validate
services rendered are in accordance with Service Level Agreements
(SLA's), and provide additional support for our customers
on a tier three prospective.

watches the watchers?.... Swarm Secure does!
Consideration of Out-sourcing vs. In-sourcing .pdf
Cost
Cost benefits include: conversion of variable costs associated
with product monitoring, analysis, and response to a fixed
cost of a single service, realize tax advantages by deducting
MSSP expenses from current year earnings versus depreciating
internal assets, and experience cash flow improvements resulting
from the transfer of software licenses (and possibly personnel)
to the MSSP.
Staffing
A shortage of qualified information security personnel puts
tremendous pressure on IT departments to recruit, train, and
compensate personal. At Swarm Secure, we retain relationships
with industry-recognized personnel. Whether your requirements
involve temporary contract work, or fulltime staff members,
we can help you find qualified people with proven experience.
Talent
Swarm Secure's staff is dedicated to security and continuously
engaging with other industry leaders to stay current with
the latest developments. This allows Swarm Secure have an
additional insight into current security situations in addition
to having a pulse on what future threats may hold.
Vendor
Neutrality
We maintain product awareness with the leading "best
of bread" security products. This includes the most technically-advanced
products as well as the most friendly to use.
Security
Awareness
At Swarm Secure, we closely watch new vulnerabilities and
analyze and research information on countermeasures. This
is accomplished though in-house expertise, external security
relationships, and cross-business and industry exposure.
Forensic
Support
Evidence acquisition is not usefully only for litigation.
It can also be used for training system administrators and
security staff, as well as justifying the need for additional
security-related funding. At Swarm Secure we have extensive
knowledge and the relationships required to support forensic
system and evidence analysis to support information-gathering
or legal proceedings.
