Good advice. I for one do not condone such things. I have not received any communication from vendors based on the inquiry in this listserv. If I do, I will make sure that they are reported. Thanks! abby From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Brad Judy Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 7:35 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] SIEM Solution Recommendation A vendor calling you in response to a list posting is a violation of the Educause list participation rules: "Please note that unsolicited commercial communications to constituent group participants as a result of postings to a Constituent or Discussion list violate the promotional messages and advertising provisions of these guidelines and may result in the loss of access to the listserv in question." I recommend anyone report such contacts to security-council () educause edu<mailto:security-council () educause edu> to keep the vendors in check.

We should also bear in mind that some vendors could be monitoring these discussions. I have already received a phone call from a vendor mentioned in this email chain wondering if we had any projects.

I don't view them as interchangeable solutions, and they cost a lot of money, plus the monitoring one does once they're installed. Can you share more detailed requirements as to what the SIEM is expected to do, how big an environment it has to scale to, what number of FTEs you intend to have tend it once installed, etc...? Also, people replying to this message should bear in mind that this mailing list is archived and made available to the entire Internet essentially forever, so endorsements or disparagements of specific products will be public for a long time, and when you say "we use X at school Y" that is also available to any bad guy trying to penetrate you assuming they do some research on Google on hit upon any information your message(s) reveal in this mailing list.... -- David Escalante Boston College We are in the process of doing dog and pony shows for SIEM solutions and I would like to get a general perspective of what you have experienced in-house and those that belong in the out-house :-) We are looking at: ArcSight RSA NitroSecurity NetIQ to just name a few. Any thoughts would be very helpful.
