Software as a Service
Watchfire offers two types of Software as a Service:
Managed Service with Solution Management
Deploying Watchfire's software as a managed service is the ideal solution for organizations struggling to scale their internal security teams. With nothing to install, no hardware to buy and no upgrade costs to worry about, this offering will help you maximize the ROI of your Watchfire investment while avoiding the hidden costs of packaged software.
Besides the typical services one expects from a managed service, Watchfire goes one step further by offering Solution Management. With Solution Management, clients receive a dedicated security consultant who acts as an outsourced web application security administrator, as well as a trusted consultant and partner. They will configure and schedule scans, interpret results and work with customers to resolve issues uncovered.
Watchfire believes one of the key value propositions of outsourcing is the knowledge transfer that occurs when consultants work closely with clients. Unlike other web application security consultants, who tend to disappear for a few days and then reappear with a report, Watchfire's security experts make it a point to work shoulder-to-shoulder with your security audit teams and developers - sharing best practices and the latest secure coding principles.
Benefits:
- Lower total cost of ownership via outsourced, ongoing administration
- Best path to actionable data regarding web application security exposure
- Regular access to security experts and best practices
- Dramatically reduced learning curve and adoption time
- Shields against loss of knowledge from turnover or reorganization
