FedRAMP

Sun Management has extensive experience in assisting cloud service providers in obtaining FedRAMP authorization. Typically, this process has been costly and time-consuming, taking several years and requiring a significant investment of resources. However, Sun Management has strong relationships with Department of Defense Customers, and can assist Partners in obtaining Government Agency Sponsorships and advise their FedRAMP strategy. By doing so, Sun Management helps Partner Security Companies achieve authorization much faster, reducing approval time up to 50%. In addition to their expertise in FedRAMP, Sun Management also offers services such as Program Management, TS Cleared Engineering Services, Facilities Clearance, and SCIF Clearance.

Why Sun Management?

  • Obtain Government Agency Sponsorship
  • Provide Project Management Advisement
  • TS Clearance Engineering
  • SCIF Access
  • Facilities Clearance

Unparalleled expertise in Palo Alto Networks Firewalls

Many SOC’s and MSSP’s try to be all things to all clients. They offer every tool available and claim skill sets across multiple vendor platforms, hence, they fail to deliver the focus and expertise clients desire. We pride ourselves on commitment and focus, specifically Gartner Magic Quadrant Firewall Manufacturer Palo Alto Networks.  We are not a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

After much testing and research, we determined the best cybersecurity solution for our clients – the most sophisticated firewall on the market today, Palo Alto Networks. Palo Alto is the Tesla of cybersecurity tools. It has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls for 8 years in a row. This is why we have made Palo Alto Networks our primary solution.  This is teamed with Cortex XSOAR, Palo Alto Networks SOAR, also a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

Sun = Palo Alto Experts

Other MSSPs spread their engineering expertise across a multi-vendor toolset. They don’t specialize in specific products. Sun is different. We know our tools inside and out. Deploying and maintaining a Palo Alto Networks Firewall requires engineering expertise, not a technician. Have PAN PCNSE’s at your disposal.

As subject matter experts on Palo Alto Firewalls, we were the first value-added reseller (VAR) of Palo Alto Networks in 2008 in the marketplace and have five Palo Alto Certified Network Security Engineers on staff (PCNSE) – the most in the Mid-Atlantic region and Federal Market space.

Sun Management is one of only 20 Certified Professional Services Partners for Palo Alto Networks. As a member of Palo Alto’s Managed Security Services Program, we have the expertise to manage your firewall infrastructure through a fully outsourced model or a hybrid approach where we maximize and augment the existing investments in your security team’s capabilities.

We Handle
  • Installation and Setup
  • Physical Hardware/Virtual Firewall Deployments
  • Configuration Changes
  • Patch Management
  • Device Monitoring
  • Change Management Tracking and Reporting
  • Quarterly Best Practice Reviews

Our Commitment To You

The cybersecurity environment is very complex. It is impossible for some businesses, municipalities, counties, school systems, universities, and other organizations to procure the most advanced tools and engineering skill sets needed to protect their systems.

We make top-shelf security tools and engineering available and affordable by leveraging a secure multitenant model that spreads the cost of these enterprise security tools among our clients without compromising service. You get access to the full benefit of these tools and engineering at a fraction of what you’d pay if you had to buy them yourself.

Sun’s MSSP offering is built on PANW’s Gartner Leading Magic Quadrant SOAR, Demisto, and PANW’s Gartner Leading Magic Quadrant NextGen Firewall. We are not good at every technology, we are excellent at a few technologies.
