Case Study: federal agencies achieve FISMA compliance with Snare Solutions

Federal Agencies improve FISMA compliance with Snare Solutions and 300+ out-of-the-box reports

Snare Solutions provided its Snare Central Platform to assist federal agencies in meeting their FISMA compliance requirements. The challenge for these agencies was to efficiently document, implement, and monitor the extensive technical controls mandated by NIST, a process made difficult by the overwhelming volume of log data generated across their heterogeneous IT infrastructures.

The solution from Snare Solutions fully automated log collection, archiving, and recovery. The Snare Central Platform categorized, identified, and normalized log data, enabling easy analysis, real-time alerting, and comprehensive reporting. This allowed the agencies to conduct forensic investigations, continuously monitor security controls, and generate the necessary reports to demonstrate compliance with over 20 FISMA security control areas, thereby reducing the cost and effort of adherence.
