Our Story

After identifying weaknesses in the response to the 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina events, three entrepreneurs from Oregon founded Swan Island Networks to deliver safer, better futures through more intelligent and actionable situational awareness.

Early Success

Swan Island Networks began as a software engineering lab working with the United States federal government, focusing on R&D programs. Early on, the company participated in a dozen contracts with government agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and a number of intelligence organizations. Each contract’s purpose was either to increase shared intelligence, enhance situational awareness or develop new models for information access and cyber security.

Trusted Information Exchange Service (TIES)

In 2009, Swan Island Networks remastered the situational awareness technologies and methodologies developed over years working in federal government R&D in order to serve the private sector, and launched TIES, the Trusted Information Exchange Service. TIES evolved to become TX360, the next-generation version of our solution that’s in wide use today.

Information Sharing

TX360 was used by the NYC Metropolitan Resilience Network, an information sharing and regional situational awareness platform with over 400 credentialed member organizations representing businesses, government, and critical infrastructure. 

This effort was spearheaded by New York University’s International Center for Enterprise Preparedness (INTERCEP), the first academic center dedicated to organizational resilience and agility. 

INTERCEP is an outgrowth of the lessons learned from the 2012 Superstorm Sandy, a hurricane that cost the New York area $19 billion (of an overall $70 billion in losses) and scores of lives.

Embracing the future

Swan’s platform has evolved to provide a robust Global Security Operations Center as a Service (GSOCaaS) that delivers highly trustworthy, accurate data, and also a smaller-footprint targeted alerting service for SMBs. Swan’s continuing evolution will incorporate artificial intelligence, intelligent video, and IOT sensors into its intelligence and alerting framework.
