I’m blogging this from the hotel room near Union Square, and so far, RSA has been a lot of fun. Yesterday I took a few minutes to take some [very raw] video footage of the Expo to share with those of you who were unable to attend the show. Please excuse the audio quality; as [...]

All You Need to Get a CISSP Certification
In honor of the RSA Conference in San Francisco, CA this week, we offer you the following guest post by Rachel Lawrence about earning your CISSP
Network Security Model – Defining an Enterprise Security Strategy
Today we are sharing with you an insightful article by Shaun Hummel, focused on how to align the five primary functions of security inside an enterprise. Enjoy and please give a look at Shaun’s service as indicated below.
Network Emulation and Monitoring: Call for Input
Good morning to all of our readers, and thank you for your time and attention here on our blog.
In the past year plus, we’ve covered a wide gamut of topics on The Network View. We’ve done a series about how to calculate an ROI (or cost savings, more like it) for simplifying the complexity of passive monitoring tools in the data center. We spent many weeks sharing insights from SPoTs (Security Pros on Twitter), many of whom you already knew, and a few who were very likely new folks to some of you. We shared some key players at a few security tool vendors in our ALIST series. And we’ve covered research, trends, 2010 predictions, and even some network emulation topics.
Network and Security Monitoring: Study Shows Much Room For Improvement
A few days ago we announced the results of Monitoring Optimization 2010: Trends and Issues Surrounding Network and Security Monitoring from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). We commissioned EMA for this study in mid-2009 because we found a significant shortage of available data regarding out-of-band / passive monitoring. Quite simply, we have been building out our product strategy with a particular approach in mind. This approach has been validated innumerable times by prospects and customers, but the smart strategist doesn’t build a product based strictly on anecdotal data or a myopic view of the world.
So we took matters into our own hands.
Data Center Staffs Need Relief in 2010
Symantec recently released their third annual 2010 State of the Data Center report, and there were some especially important findings in the area of data center staff productivity. We’ve been talking about this important topic for a long time, and this seems like an ideal time to review the key findings, translate exactly what they mean for data centers, and tie it all together.
Security and IT in 2010
Heading into the New Year, we have seen a slew of reviews for 2009 and previews of what various experts and pundits think will happen this year. On this very blog, we have even chimed in on several of the more interesting takes that we’ve seen out in the blogosphere and on the web itself. But what we haven’t done is give our take on where we think the big stories will come in 2010, so let’s attack that angle now.
In 2010, I predict we will see more of…
Predictions for 2010: Breaking Down IDC’s Take for Data Centers and Service Providers
Continuing our end of year review of the various predictions from IT and networking thought leaders, today we turn our attention to IDC. For those of us who have been in high tech since the early 90s (or longer), IDC is a well-known entity. I remember working with them directly back in my days of fab planning and market research at Advanced Micro Devices, and they always offered a spin that made me take pause when interpreting trends and new developments.
A Look Inside Security Tools (ALIST): Bill Roth of LogLogic
After a one-week hiatus for the Thanksgiving holiday (and we hope you liked our “MeThinks” entry), we turn our attention back to the ALIST series. For those of you who are familiar with the SIEM space, you should already know about LogLogic. Bill Roth, their new CMO, has graciously agreed to take part in the ALIST series. As a quick aside from our focus on SEs and Technical Marketing types, let’s get the viewpoint from the executive suite.
MeThinks: Now is a Great Time to Give Thanks
This week we will enjoy a major holiday here in the USA, Thanksgiving. This tradition originated in the earliest days of our country’s existence, and we still take pause once each year to celebrate all of the good things that life has placed before us. While this is most certainly a time to enjoy family and be together, we want to take a brief moment to express gratitude as a company for the good things that have befallen us in the past year.
