Description
Buy this together with the monitoring server. The two come to $3,900 — $400 less than the server plus the standalone installation, because doing both in one visit saves me time and I would rather pass that on than pretend it does not exist.
What I do
- The server delivered, plugged in and reporting
- Agents deployed to your Windows and Linux machines
- Switches, routers and firewalls brought in over syslog — no agent needed on those
- Vulnerability reporting and configuration assessment switched on and explained
- Two to three weeks of tuning — the step almost everyone skips, and the one that decides whether you are still using this next year
- Staff training: which alerts mean pick up the phone, and which mean nothing
- A written handover, so it survives staff changes
- A free copy of my published field manual
This is labour, not equipment — no New York sales tax.
If you already have a machine of your own, buy Installation on your own hardware at $2,500 instead. If you want the server without me installing it, buy the server on its own.
