Vigilant has teamed up with several leading SIEM vendors to bring an innovative new offering to the world of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). The new offering – SIEM Co-Sourcing – is a hybrid solution that provides full, 24x7 management and monitoring of customer-resident SIEM installations, staffed by a certified team of engineers expert in SIEM technology.

This hybrid approach provides Co-Sourcing clients with full-ownership of the SIEM infrastructure, eliminating fears of frictional costs associated with outsourced provider changes. Additionally, and most importantly, it provides Co-Sourcing clients with a truly tailored SIEM solution – one that provides real-time correlation and prioritization of security incidents based upon their potential impact to critical business assets and functions. Without input from such sources as operating system, database and application logs, identified incidents lack prioritization by business operations, resulting in misallocation of resources and increased risk of financial damages and loss of continuity.

SIEM Co-Sourcing provides an evolving security management system that will adapt to the ever-mutating threats occurring daily on the internet and inside corporate networks. With SIEM Co-Sourcing, Vigilant provides you a round-the-clock team whose mission is to ensure that your SIEM installation provides real-time alerting and response against hacks, sensitive data loss, fraudulent transactions, or compliance violations.

If your organization is debating a SIEM vs. Managed Services decision, we recommend SIEM Co-Sourcing – the next generation of managed services.

• All-hours Coverage - 24x7 Monitoring, Management, and Incident Response. Service Level Agreements include first level response, incident investigation and end-point management, as required.

• Tailored, Use-Case Driven Solutions – Solutions are designed to address the specific needs of each customer, such as SOX / GLBA compliance, Operational Risk Management, Business Transaction Monitoring, as well as traditional Security Information Management.

• Policy-driven Collaboration – Vigilant’s Co-Source Engineers work in conjunction with customer staff to identify, investigate, resolve and report incidents. Response and escalation procedures are designed to follow each customer’s policy requirements.

• Support for Internal Source Devices – Co-Sourced SIEM is ideally suited for today’s compliance-oriented requirements, since it provides support for data collection and analysis from internal assets, such as operating systems, databases and applications. By contrast, MSSPs typically do not support internal sources, due to design restrictions, and thus are limited to perimeter monitoring.

• Data Ownership and Integrity - All security log data remains on the client premises at all times, providing maximum security of potentially sensitive content. No remote storage or off-shoring – all US-based monitoring.

• TCO - The total cost of ownership (TCO) of Co-Sourcing is significantly less than that of a traditional MSSP over a multi-year period. Co-Sourcing combines all the benefits of a tailored SIEM solution with the peace-of-mind of 24x7 coverage.
