Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) experience in System and Network Security includes building custom software and hardware solutions as well as reengineering existing systems. SwRI has designed and developed solutions for the:

  • Department of Defense

  • Department of Veterans Affairs

  • Healthcare industry

SwRI infrastructure includes secure facilities. A majority of the staff in this group have U.S. Government-approved security clearances.

From trade studies and requirements analysis to security planning, risk assessment, and documentation that supports certification and accreditation, SwRI has the experience and staff expertise. SwRI designs and develops custom security solutions and has the capability to perform in-depth vulnerability analysis and security test and evaluation. 

If an organization has a high-value information system, it should accomplish regular penetration testing on that system and also have that security testing performed by a reputable, independent authority such as SwRI.
