Augmenting Your Team During Difficult Times
These past few months have seen an enormous negative economic impact on many organizations. One that is expected to remain longer after shelter-in-place regulations are lifted. Many of our users’ teams have seen layoffs, furloughs, and other reductions in headcount and resources.
In the past, we’ve seen many companies buy our product to augment their team. Essentially, they leverage Indeni as the “the security guard who watches their back 24/7” or “another set of eyes and hands.” This is most apparent in teams that either don’t have the resources to hire more people, or can’t find the talent they are seeking.
As a result, we have decided to provide the following package for free for 90 days:
- 20 licenses to the Indeni software, plus,
- Free use of Managed Indeni
The idea here is that Indeni does the heavy lifting for you. You won’t need to do any additional work, other than spinning up Indeni in your environment (which takes an hour or so). We will manage the Indeni instance remotely for you and make sure you get notified about any issues Indeni uncovers. This means your reduced team can be better prepared to deal with the load and spend less time firefighting.
How It Works
- Download our OVA
- Spin it up in a VM, add the relevant devices (you can do this on your own or with us on a call).
- Inform us that you want to use the free package (submit a request or email us post-download).
- Give us remote access to the Indeni instance (normally via VPN, but other methods are possible too).
- Trust us to inform you whenever Indeni finds a problem that needs your attention in your security infrastructure.
We are here to help.
Key takeawaysThis key takeaway was generated through LLMs crawling the page and coming up with an overview of the content.The article announces a 90-day free Indeni package to help organizations facing reduced headcount and resources due to recent economic impacts. The package provides 20 Indeni licenses plus free use of Managed Indeni so teams can quickly deploy an OVF-based VM that Indeni will monitor and the Indeni team will remotely manage and notify when issues are found. This offering is intended to reduce firefighting, augment understaffed security operations, and improve preparedness by providing another set of eyes and hands without requiring customers to hire additional personnel.
What does the free 90-day Indeni package include and who is it intended for?
The free 90-day package includes 20 licenses to the Indeni software plus free use of Managed Indeni. It is intended for organizations affected by recent economic impacts—those with layoffs, furloughs, or reduced security operations headcount and resources—who need additional monitoring and operational support without hiring new staff. The package lets teams augment their existing staff by providing continuous automated monitoring and remote management handled by the Indeni team.
How do I deploy and start using the free Indeni offering in my environment?
To deploy the free offering you download the OVF and spin it up as a virtual machine, which the article notes takes about an hour. After deploying, you add the relevant devices to be monitored; this step can be done independently or with assistance from Indeni on a call. Then you inform Indeni that you want to use the free package by submitting a request or emailing them, and provide remote access (typically via VPN) so the Indeni team can manage the instance remotely and send notifications when problems are detected.
What operational benefits does Managed Indeni provide for reduced or understaffed teams?
Managed Indeni performs the heavy lifting of ongoing monitoring and management so reduced teams spend less time firefighting routine issues. By remotely managing the Indeni instance and notifying customers when problems are uncovered, Indeni acts as an automated security guard and an extra set of eyes and hands—improving incident awareness and readiness without requiring additional internal hires. This arrangement helps understaffed teams better prepare for operational load and focus limited resources on prioritized remediation tasks.
