SWITCH can directly deliver data, detections, and reports related to your organization; or provide you with access to general information such as Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and look-up lists. Information can be quickly made available using dashboards customized to your needs, supporting you with valuable visualizations, statistics, and the results of correlations.
